Ok I've read the FAQ and gone through all the suggested methods of starting with a flooded engine. I have spark. With a normal compression tester I was getting 90-90-90 on the front rotor and 95-95-95 on the rear. I just aquired this car and since it had been sitting I drained the gas and put fresh gas in. Oil level is fine but I have a buzzer going off about thirty seconds into having the key in the on position(coolant level?). Mileage is ~120k. Looking for suggestions and any help.

Also I checked the return fuel line at the engine and had flow when cranking the engine.

have you tried to push start it?
Also, coolant level will make a buzzer go off, even a bubble will make it go off... check you oil and coolant for discoloration, if you have a bad coolant seal or something. try push starting tho.. when i first got my car long ago i couldnt get it to start for a few days, but eventually i had a friend over to help me push it up my mountain of a driveway and pop start the bitch.. after that i didnt have any problems....

Have not tried push starting. Just checked the timing and the leading plugs are firing at the yellow(5 degree) mark but the trailing are also firing at the yellow mark. Understand that this is all done while cranking the engine though is it possible that for starting the plugs fire at the same time?

You sure you're on the right wires? Both of the front coil wires are the leading plugs...

yes I am completely sure that I am on the right wires. I set the CAS so that the front leading wire was firing on the yellow mark then checked the front trailing wire and it was also firing on the yellow mark.

Sounds like some wires are crossed- the trailing plugs are the top ones, look at the designations stamped on the trailing coil cover plates and make sure the wires are going to the right spots. Both of the front (leading) coil's wires should be going to the bottom two plugs (doesn't really matter which one's going to which there)...

T1 is front trailing correct? If so then all the wires are correctly connected.

FOUND THE PROBLEM. The fuel injectors were not firing. We pulled them out of the intake and placed bottles beneath each one and cranked it and there was nothing so we dribbled a little gas into the injector holes and it worked. Now to get the injectors to a shop for cleaning.
