If its flooding it will feel as though the motor makes no compression. To deflood remove all of the spark plugs and crank unplug the Crank Angle Sensor (CAS), crank till no more fuel exits the motor and re install everything.

You may want to try a new mass airflow sensor (MAF), its wierd that the cover would be off. Testing procedures for the MAF are in the Factory Service Manual (FSM), you will need a digital multi meter.
