Exclamation no start condition

I have a no start condition. here's the history. i bought a 88 rx7 off my friend cheep. when i bought it it did not run. he says that as time went on it was harder to start. it got to the point where he had to pop start it to start. after a couple of times it just stoped starting. since i got it i have done a series of tests. i tried pulling the egi fuse and clearing out the engine but that does not work. i also tried putting atf in the engine but that also did not work. i replace all the spark plugs and wires and i did put them in the right holes. i then checked the spark and it is good. i am getting spark from all 4 ignition coils. i also did a compression test and that also was good. the engine seems like it is flooding. i know about the leaky injector problem. i also ohmed out the atm and that was good. im stuck and dont know where to go next. im getting fuel, im getting spark, im getting compression, and the starter is cranking. by the way please don't tell me to search because ive been doing that for the last 4 days. any help would be great

Got spark too? Maybe your injector finally gave it up.

Best way to unflood a severely flooded motor is a good old push start...

ok well i went though everything. i did every test i found on this forum and i finally fixed the problem. the ground behind the engine wasn't connected and the plugs where having problems jumping the gap. so i fixed the ground unflooded the engine through in new plugs and it started right up. it smoked like a M/F put now its running better that ever. thanks to all the people on this forum and the search archive.
