Need again ASAP
Ok guys. I replaced the FPR and the fuel pump. I have checked the fuel filter. The car still will not start. I took out the spark plugs and the motor was flooded. Cranked it over to pump out gas in the cylinders. I put a used set of plugs in and tried to start it and would not start. I then pulled the plugs out and the plugs were full of gas. The motor is getting way to much fuel. Any ideas?

Adjustable FPR??
I don't know how much TPI needs // uses, sounds like too much pressure, OR injectors malfunction. Return line blocked?
Just some ideas.

Yes adjustable FPR. Fuel injectors are 1-2 years old. I do not know which one is the return line.

Once the plugs are wet fuel fouled they will not fire unless you cook the fuel out of the tips with a propane torch, - that or install new plugs.
You can initiate "clear-flood mode" in a TPI car by pressing the gas pedal to 3/4 before turning your key forward to start the car.
Besides having too high a fuel pressure at the rails, a very cold reading at the engine coolant temperature sensor will cause excess fuel to be injected in during cranking.
