Starting issue!

Ok i have a 89 s5 with a turbo engine. and im having trouble with the engine flooding. i even changed my plugs. i followed the steps in this article i get to the part when the engine smokes when starting cuz of the ATF it idles just fine for about 50 secs. Then it starts to putter and then dies, when i try to start it again it cranks but it does not start again. not until i do the everything again i will start for 50 seconds and it dies. i want to check the injectors to see if there leaking. i did a compression test and it has good compression. thnx!

this is were i got my info on unflooding the engine.
