flooded engine
Car still wont start. Resoldered the main relay, sounds good. I hear the click and then the fuel pump runs for two seconds. Car still wont start. Replaced the fuel filter. No start.
I pull the plugs and sure enough they are SOAKED with gas. I freaking flooded it bad. It wont start with the pedal to the floor even after letting it sit for fifteen minutes.
I was reading up and it said that once a spark plug is soaked it wont work anymore. Is this true? If I flooded it that badly, do I just replace the plugs and start it again?

No.
You're obviously getting fuel, but have you checked to see if you're getting spark?

Re: flooded engine (Targa250R)
I'm going to check it in the morning, the lame part is I live alone. The spark plug wires wont reach the ground where I can see them when I start the engine so I cant turn it over and check the plugs. Any other suggestions when I'm doing this by myself?
At the least I've narrowed it down to spark.
