Its Broke!

Okay, fixed my problem with spark (or lack thereof) and now I have a different problem and I don't see how its possible.
The spark plugs are sparking - I pulled one out, and they ARE sparking. The engine IS getting gas. I smelt it/felt it with my finger. so HOW... THE... ****... CAN... IT... NOT... START...

it can't start because its flooded. gas kills the compression of the motor, little compression + shitloads of gas = near impossible start

hmmm... I've tried unflooding it several times (and once it smoked LoL... bad flooding...)
ya, i was debating push starting it... I did that with my honda yesterday so that idea came to mind quickly... unfortunately i'm home alone right now...
anybody know any other reasons why this could happen?

umm.. define massively huge ported?

PP aint gonna run happily on stock EFI, lol. And you have a fuel computer, its just stock. If you didn't have one-- you wouldn't be injecting fuel at all.-- unless you had a carb, its less injecting and more... spitting in tht case though.
