please help 1986 rx7 cranks but wont start

this is my first car but i am not new to workin with motors. it is a 1986 rx7 gxl non turbo it cranks but wont start. i checked it is getting spark and the tachometer bumps up and down. when i first got it all the fuses were in wrong so i checked my hanes manual and got that fixed so now all the electrical works properly. i have tried deflooding it by pulling the egi fuse and cranking it and then putting it back in and trying to start it but still cranks but wont start. please help i really wanna get this car running but am at a loss in what to do next.

Are you actually getting fuel? That is, when you deflooded, did big clouds of unburned fuel exit the spark plug holes?

Try a push start with another vehicle. If the car is seriously flooded, this is often the easiest way to fix it.
