Also I think my engine could be flooded. How do I unflood it. Am i supposed to wait awhile?

To see if your spark plugs are getting spark? there is a device called a timing light that blinks everytime whatever cylinder wire its hooked up to(its gennerally reccomended that you use it only on the #1 cylinder)sends a signal,one person could crank the engine and the other could watch the light,but I fail to see how the would help you....

i had some trouble with my sr when i intalled it as well. To check the spark pull out the number one coil and stick a screw driver in it and bridge it to something metal in the engine bay. Then crank it very lightly. You should see a spark jump off of the screw driver if it is sparking. Also check the timing, my eninge would not start when i first got it in and the timing was 180 off.
good luck
