motor wont cut on, please help

Alrighty, Well lets see here, ive fixed the virus, and hopefully can give alittle more details..

Ever sence i got this car its had a small issue with flooding, always it would just take me 2 or 3 trys and she'd fire fight up and id be on my mary way.... Well today i went as far from home as i ever have with her, and stopped at a kfc... After spending 30 mins just eating and chilling with a few friends, i head back outside to jump in my car and go home.... 30 rediculus minutes later, still nothing. She sounded like she really wanted to cut on, but for whatever reason as soon as she normally would, it just died and went back to just cranking.

i pushed and tried a rolling clutch dump.. but one person just doesnt cut it, so i call the tow truck. Hour later im home...

Here is what ive done.
Checked all fluid levels
pulled off air cleaner, (getting plenty of air)
Checked gas, plenty of gas
Held screw driver to plug wires, plenty of spark... ouch....
pulled out spark plugs, and cleaned, and sanded them.. (they had a lot of oil on them, and the oil smelled like gas)

ive asked a bunch of friends and no one has any idea, me either,

Also sence this is my first rx7, its now mostlikely going to be my last, and its for sale. All i want is what ive paid for it. Sence ive bought it, ive replaced 3 heater hoses, a starter, to much money in gas, and cleaning supplies... This car is just to much for me to handle, i do so much for it.. and it just keeps leaving me stranded..

So if anyone could help it would be awsome, also, its a 89 black fc, new paint, new everything, 30k miles on j-spec motor, 30k on tranny. clutch is fine.. interior is great, exterior is even nicer. $ 2800 firm. i live in suffolk VA ...

my cell number is 757-537-7687

Thats for anyone interested in the car, or anyone who will call and help me. Its sprint pcs, so if u have that too, the phone call is free.

Thanks for your time, sorry for the long post.. And SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!

the flooding and hot starting issue is probably due to leaky injectors. you can get them clean and blueprinted fairly cheap.
