car turns over but won't start

well i did a swap from na to t2 i got it to start once but it took me like twenty times to get it unflooded then after starting it died and never turned on again. i've whiched out the maf 3 times, and the only way it would start was by pull starting it could this be an electrical problem?

Check the plugs! Clean them up, and reinstall them. I did it this morning on my rebuild, and it worked and ran on the first try. Give it a shot. Takes 15 minutes, max.

Well if your getting spark and fuel you should be able to start it if you have compression. Did you buy a jdm engine?
