spark plugs

so im officially really tired of 13b engine flooding..but not tired of rx7's yet...

the fuel pump kill switch technique works sometimes but not so much anymore... lots of times my engine still gets really really flooded to the point where my spark plugs are soaked in gas... i always have to take out the plugs and dry them off..but then the little holes they come out of are leaking alot of gas...and i have to wait for those to dry up cuz if i dont then ill just end up dipping the dried plugs into the soaking wet holes they came from..(haha dirty sounding).

i have a good guess that my injectors are leaking like a motherfudder...

but anyways...this is gonna sound really really newb-ish...but is there such thing as crazy super invincible spark plugs that just light up even when theyre soaked..lol i know it might sound really stupid...but i was just wondering if they were out there..cuz id really like to buy some.

thanks.

I'd get some new injectors, or get your's cleaned/flow tested/rebuilt so you don't have to worry about this again...

what is the compression on the motor? Low compression makes flooding 1000% more likely.

im pretty sure i have low compression because its slow as **** and i cant get it over 45mph in 2nd gear...and when its in neutral and i floor the gas i can seriously count to 5 before it redlines...in my other rx7 i gun it and before i even think of counting its at the redline...
