Flooding issue?

So ive unflooded my car and crnaked it and it turned on a few times but it only stays on for about 30 seconds then dies. I know that its flooding from fuel but i cant figure out why. I just went single turbo and put in a walbro fuel pump. I got maps loaded for it from XS.

I wanted to know that since my coolant lvl sensor wire was broken off right at the sensor so attempts to soder it back are futile.could that could cause it to flood? The coolant buzzer is constantly going off when the car is on the on position. i heard from somewhere that the coolant temp is related to the fuel put into the engine? could this cause the motor to flood from fuel. or maybe the coolant temp sensor on the back is busted and would that cause it to flood?

Also some say it could be the map sensor thinking that the car is at full boost so its dumping in fuel... how do i check if the map sensor is busted or not?

Collant temperature is from a different sensor that is mounted on the backside of the water pump and varies resistance with temperature. The level sensor is basicly an off/on switch only activates the alarm when the volume of collant is low.

The MAP can make a car run vary rich if the vacume line is off or leaking, or if the sensor itself is failing or dead. Its performance can be tested by measuring voltages while you change the vacume and/or pressure being applied. FWM detials the steps.
