So after alot of work i got it to turn on for 10-15 seconds but as soon as i touched the accelerator it died and now I cant get it to turn back on.
I think it keeps flooding because i always have to pull the spark plugs out to clean them.
I have good compression
it builds up good oil preassure when i am cranking continously
i am getting spark but it feels weak (i got shocked by putting my hand on there and it really wasnt anything haha)
Ive tested the restance on the coils: .8 ohms
also I think a pretty decent sized exhaust leak.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

nvm that was a dumb question.
So I just let it sit for a couple days? hours?
also how much atx fluid?
Do you have any compression numbers or is it just assumed. You can have a lot of different issues. Anything and everything from a vacuum leak to poor compression, or a leaking/clogged injectors. When you did your tune up did you happen to swap out the fuel filter? If you didn't, I would hazard a guess that you have clogged fuel injectors.
