check your voltage and see if your getting enough to start it, you might need a simple jump.

for the flooding problem pull out the egi fuse under the hood, crank it for 10 seconds, put the fuse back and crank it again.

if that doesnt work, again take out the egi fuse, remove the leading spark plugs and try to turn teh engine over for like 7 seconds. then put the plugs back in and maybe put a little bit of atf in it and then put the egi fuse back in and crank it.

If it's flooded, unflood it.

Pull each leading plug and put a few ounces of oil into each chamber. Rotate the engine by hand, then put in a bit more oil and reinstall the plugs. Now start the car.

If it is badly flooded, a push start will always work.

By the way, this is well covered in the FAQ.
