Starting Problem Sensor?

Yesterday my car started fine, then i go to start it today and it doesn't start. So i unflooded the car, changed the plugs and still nothing. I looked at the sensor check on my pfc and my Fuel sensor voltage is illuminated. The voltage reads 4.98... My question is, is that sensor bad, and if so what do i have to change. Could use some help here PLEASE!!!!

Gonna try and unflood the car again, and clean the plugs. Going to use some ATF this time, doesn't that give the car compression and help it start??

are you getting any fuel pressure? is fuel getting to the engine?

Ran into a wall, i'm getting fuel cause the plugs are shoaked and my regualtor gauge went up, second i tested my wires and i got spark on every wire so i might as well not check the coils then any ideas. ECU???, or is she blown??

time to consider a leaking injector. any compression readings will be skewed because of the gas washing down the combustion chambers. have you tried push starting it that will always start a fluke flooded car. you have a fuel pressure gague on the car?

No i don't have a fuel pressure gauge, closest thing is my gauge on my fuel pressure regulator i think..

I thought about push starting it but i don't know if i could get it moving fast enough
