s4 crank no start...

I've been messing with my car for two days now and cant come up with anything. Fired up yesterday morning and died after 2 seconds. now It cranks but will not fire....not even on death breath. I pulled plugs and (L) look fine (T) are soaked. Replaced the trailing coils with known working ones to see if that'd help but the plugs still are soaked with gas. I dont get it. Is there something that i am missing? I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to rx7's but i do know my way around reg cars. can someone help me figure this out?

Go to the Engine bay Fuse block and Pull the fuse that says EGI..get the gas out by taking the plugs out,roll the engine over about 20 seconds.
put about a "Milkshake straw" full of Motor oil in the Spark plug holes.Roll the engine over about 3 seconds.Insert plugs.Hook up wires Correctly..insert Fuse.
NOW,did you Screw with the Air flow Meter?..where the Air box is(or air filter),there is a BIG connector that needs to be attached to the AFM..if it is NOT then your car will start and die..over and over again.
..anyways try what I said...post back up.

When is the last time the car ran properly?

Did you work on the car before it would not start?

Have you checked for spark especialy as it pertains to the trailing coil? If not then do so.

After making sure you have proper spark try deflooding the engine and if need be use some starter fluid ( 1 second to two seconds in to the intake duct w/the fuel pump unplugged).

mine did the same exact thing and the power supply wire on the fuel pump was jacked up. and on rotaries the pump doesnt "prime" until its cranking so theres really no way to check unless you take it out and hook the pos and neg up to a battery and hear it turn over. but mine did the same thing, so theres my input lol

There's a fuel check connector in the engine bay specifically used to test the fuel system w/the key to the on position.

i had checked all of that. pulled the plugs and rolled it over a few times too to clear it out. i ended figuring out the problem; the rear rotor only has 35 psi.
