So I go to hop in my car and take it for a cruise and the stupid thing will not start... This is what it is doing:
My very first attempted at starting the car led me to believe that it was going to start (sounded like normal starting) then after about the 3rd crank it sounded like it wasn't igniting. I tried a couple more times and it still sounded like it wasn't getting any spark. So I left it for a couple minutes and tried again but same thing. So I pulled the plugs sure enough they were fouled badly (it was time for them to be changed anyway) so I replaced them all and went to fire it up same thing. After 2 or 3 tries I pulled the plugs again cleaned them off and cranked it over 2 or 3 times with the plugs out and fuel turned off to get all the excess fuel out. Before I put the plugs back in I decided to check and make sure the coils were actually sending spark to the plugs to begin with and yes they were working just fine. So I put the plugs back in turned the fuel back on and gave it a whirl... nothing. I have officially ran out of ideas of why it is not starting and am starting to think my compression is bad ... the thing is I do not have a compression tester.
The last time I drove the car it started fine and ran fine. This just happed after the car sat for about a week and a half.

If I left some info out just say... Any help is greatly appreciated.

you just had a bad flood.

you don't necessarily need to pull start it, you can push it and pop the clutch depending how fast you can get the car to move and what gear you put it in

flooded- pull egi fuse, pull plugs, hold accel pedal to floor, crank for 15sec, clean and dry plugs, replace plugs, replace egi fuse, start.

i have tried every method to de flood my car and the only one that works for me is pull starting it. mine takes about 3 blocks at 5000 rpm in second gear before it starts up but good to here that you got your car going
