no start
 
I have my car in a garage during winter. I started the car for about 3 weeks ago and let it idle for a while and everything seemed normal. 2 weeks after that when I was to start i again it wont!

There is nothing just the engine cranking. Its like it dont have any ignintion but I have checkt the sparkplugs and there is a spark.

At first i thought i was flooded so I have tried to run it without fulerelay(no success) and after that i left it for a week without sparkplugs in and then tried again but it didnt start. Sparkplugs looks like they are having too much fuel.

Exhaust and intake are my only mods

Anyone have any ideas?

Still sounds like it's flooded. Try it with new plugs. Old ones often never recover from flooding.

Yea. Will it studder and almost start. or just keep cranking?

If its flooded take out the EGI fuse and your lead spark plug, and crank the engine for 20 second intervals, 2 times (For each rotor). This will spray the excess fuel out of the engine. Do this for both rotors.

Just keeping the spark plug hole open will not necessarily diffuse the fuel out.

I had a similar problem w/ my FD recently. I tried throttling the gas pedal on/off while trying to crank the motor. This seemed to help the motor start the combustion cycle. I had to hold the throttle down around 2,000-ish rpms for about 30 seconds the cycle started, otherwise it would want to die. After that, the car worked flawlessly. I hope this helps.

I had to buy all four 9 sparkplugs because they did have any 7 but I guess thats going to work as well.
