Install a fuel cut switch and see if it helps with the starting problem. Because the compression is a bit low (90s), it will suffer floods a lot easier.
Put in some new plugs/wires to help out. Afterwards, just drive it a lot and see if things get better. Some kind of AI or "water treatment" probably wouldn't be bad either.

As I said "Drove the car for a few days everything was fine, now it is incredibly had to start cold."
It is next to impossible to start it when its cold, if you shut if off when its warm is starts up fine as long as you don't let it sit, Even after then minutes of sitting its still easier to start then when it's cold.
Do you think its a flooding issues? I will research a fuel cut switch. oddly enough it acts flooded but if i spray ether in there it will fire right up as long as you don't touch the gas.

after the car has been sitting even if its for 10 minutes or so it wont start with out help. but it you shut it off wait 30 seconds or so it will fire right up. also if you give it a shot of starting fluid it will start but you can't give it any gas or it will die. (just found that out) so its gotta be a no fuel issue I would assume.

So here is the deal. afm unplugged it will run (but real shitty) plug it in it dies instantly, i tried jumping the fuel pump, it started it and it ran let me rev it up and everything. but i had forgot to plug in the afm then when i plugged the afm back in it died instantly. I replaced the afm with one i got off ebay, is it possible that the one i got off eBay is bad? pulled the plugs out both trialing had some unburnt fuel on them.
