Default 08 ACCORD- WON'T START.

Trying to help a friend with this issue, he has an 08 accord and the car will not start. The car is a v6 and what we have concluded so far is that it will not start due to the spark plugs have to much fuel and are flooded. Once we clean the plugs off it will start for a little while then shut off and not start again. He thought it might be the injectors but we highly doubt that all injectors are bad at the same time. Has anyone had this problem before or know about anything that might cause this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any modifications including aftermarket alarm?

How was the car acting prior to this starting issue?

have you checked all the associated fuses?

Try checking your fuel filter for pressure cause it might be high or a bad fuel pressure regulator.

It turns out the owner of the car put diesel fuel in it.
