Unflooded my car, still problems. Please help.

Ok my car seemed to be flooded. So fine I've had the problem before so I did the whole unflood process w/ the ATF & all. She started right up but then started to idle really rough and sound like **** too. I just sat there for about 15minutes giving it some gas so that she wouldn't stall hoping that the idle will fix itself. Well the idle never smoothed out and finally I stopped giving it throttle and after a few minutes she just shut off. What gives? Is it just so flooded that I have to unflood it again? can my motor be blown?

Maybe your spark plugs are fouled? Did you change them out?

The plugs have only about a 100miles on them. When I pulled them out they were soaked in fuel but I cleaned them real well and let them sit for an hour.
