pull your EGI fuse and turn over the motor till ZERO fuel spays out the spark plug holes, BTW ATF trick is no good for apex seals try marvel mystry oil instead. once the motor is clear of fuel clean the plugs reinstall them WITH THE FUSE OUT, turn over the motor till ALL SPUTTERING stops IE motor trying to start. After that get a friend to INSTALL THE FUSE WHILE TURNING OVER THE MOTOR, IE TRY TO START IT AND AFTER FEW SECONDS PUT THE FUSE IN. If this doesn't work check to make sure you don't have a bad coolant seal.

Well first off:

You will need to change the oil again after you get it running, as after it has been flooded and the flooded cleared the oil will be contaminated. So don't change the oil until the flooded condition has been cleared.

Then I would be looking for a Vac leak.

What icemark meant was after you unflood it and figure out what the flooding problem is so it doesnt happen again do another oil change since all your new oil has been contaminated with gas.

Also did you mean that you cranked the car, the engine started and then stalled. Then you tried to restart it and it was flooded? If it starts but wont stay idling it's probably that your AFM is unplugged, huge vac leak or low compression (which could explain flooding). How did it flood in the first place?
