the engine could be flooded you can search and find a few thread that'll explain how to unflood the engine. pull the EGI fuse and then hold the gas pedal plus clutch all the way down and then crank a few time for 15 seconds each. put the fuse back in then try

its flooded, you gotta un-flood it. Pull out the egi fuse and crank it over and over, then throw it back in and it should start up, otherwise you gotta pull out the plugs, then crank without the egi fuse.

if its cold and you let it run for like under 10 sec and shut it off, the secondaries i believe stay open and dump fuel in. It happened to me once. Whenever you have to start the car, let it warm up before you turn it off.

do a serach on flooding, there are many solutions depending on how severe its flooded.

If it is flooded that bad, then take out the plugs and fpr relay. Crank it a few time for like 10-15 sec. Clean the plugs real good and put it all back together. Should start, if not than might be something else like no fuel delivery.
