CA Wont start, cant start

The coils seem to not be getting juice. Im getting no tach bump and it only does this when i dont warm it up properly. So i was thinking a flooding issue. But while i drive the engine cuts out on me very quickly. Any help please ive searched and searched on the forum and i need it running for at least two more months before i rebuild it. Its an s4.

Does the tach work when it is warmed up?

Do you have to cool the car down and then start it and bring it up to temperature before driving it?
