Well my car won't start anymore. I thought it was the fuel pump, but I changed it and no go. I tried unflooding it 100 times. Tried spraying some carb cleaner in the intake to get it going. I think I remember hearing that I should put some oil in the spark plug holes or something? If I can get it started I will do the ATF trick to see if it will help out. Not sure what the problem is really though. Car ran fine, idled fine. Had to let it sit because my turbo went out and now it won't start up. Any ideas?

Try putting 2 stroke oil in the spark plug holes (well, any motor oil will work fine) then turning the motor over by hand, getting each side of the rotor. Then try to start it.

Well first off are you sure that you are getting voltage to the fuel pump itself? I was a badass (dumbass) and almost blew myself up when i didn't correctly ground the wire on my fuel pump, long story short I blew a fuse so no voltage was getting to the actual pump. After you've established that you are getting voltage to the pump then start looking elsewhere. Have you tried push starting it yet? That has always worked for cases that I couldn't de-flood the car via pulling the EGI fuse.

Yes, what dr0x said. My motor was extremely flooded (after Walbro install), and I guess all those 'unflood techniques' burned off the oil that helps compression, making me pull my hair out b/c it wouldn't start. Finally, I put some ATF (oil works too) into the plug holes, and it started right up. It was like a miracle.
