God forbid it takes a whole hour for someone to reply...

The trailing coils are inconseqential for starting. The car will start and run fine on leadings only.

Have you checked for spark at the leading?

It should turn harder if there is no spark, but then it will flood out, loose compression and thus turn very easily.

would it un flood its self after time like a piston engine or no? this is the whole thing ... car is parked for the winter at a buddys house ... i start it about 2 times a week depending on the temp out side. the last time i started it the first 2/3 turns it sounded like allways but after that it seemed to spin easy and has so for about a month ... when i checked codes all i got was trailing coil cut.

If the car is flooded, you will need to unflood it. Search for "unflooding" for lots of info.
