Engine Flooded with gas F22b2 UPDATE
I have a 1996 Honda Accord with a F22b2 engine with 139,000 miles. I recently replaced head gasket, timing belt, distributor, rotor, cap, thermostat. After getting the car all the way back together it won't stay running.
I went back and checked several times to confirm timing was correct, and that the belt was correct. When I first start it, it will fire up and then die after a second. I try to fire it up again and it won't start. So I pull the plugs out, which are brand new also, and the plugs are dripping wet on all 4 cylinders. So somehow I'm getting too much fuel.
I have good spark, but I have no clue what to check that would allow it to overfuel like that.
Any Ideas?

Flooded of course.
Is there a time you had to keep cranking it without letting off the key?? By doing so can flood the engine if you just keep cranking and cranking the hell out of it.
What you can do is remove all four plugs and leave it overnight to see if the fuel inside the combustion chamber will evaporate out in a day or two.

remove all the plugs, turn the key like your starting the car, let it crank - this will shoot the gas on top of the pistons out the spark plug hole. then wipe down the spark plug hole. put the plugs back in and try to start her up.

Alright, so I checked the spark again, and it had none. So, I ended up with a bad coil. I replaced the coil and now I have spark again. I have a brand new distributor and confirmed spark by pulling a spark plug and grounding it while cranking. I have fuel, as I confirmed by testing the fuel pressure. The main relay is fine.
Extra fuel in the cylinder and spark plug was from cranking with no spark, which gave it the appearance of being flooded.
I don't know what else to check. It still won't run. I've got fuel, I've got spark. I rechecked the timing, its good. Rotor is pointing to the #1 plug on the distributor.
I am lost, and quite stuck. Please help.

I have the same issue with a 96 Accord. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator with a used one and it ran great for a month then had the same issue again. So I bought a new one and it ran great again for a few weeks then the demon showed up again. Any thoughts?
