Did you try the 'un-flooding' techniques?

To save you a major flame, do a search on unflooding and never admit that you don't know anything. When you moved it, I assume you ran for a second only and shut it off. This can lead to flooding on a high mileage engine or one that needs injector service.

There are tons of posts on this, so I won't elaborate. Make sure your battery is fully charged and this will save you a lot of headache.

Then how did u come across an FD? Should have done some research before buying. Oh well, try the de-flooding techniques as pointed out by mahjik.
