Default Fuel problems....

Hey fellas I have a problem, the problem is that my car was running fine, and all of a sudden the bitch just didn't wanna start anymore. So after looking things over I came to the conclusion that I'm getting too much fuel to the engine and it's and it's causing it to flood. The thing I can't understand is that I got my car tuned and all of a sudden it's just not turning on. If I push start it and give it gas it'll start but if I try to start it with the key and give it gas it just floods. Can anyone help me out here?
TIA.

It could be an indication of low compression. Have you been losing power? Excessive smoking? What color if so?

No, the car doesn't smoke, but it leaks oil from the cam seals and the valve cover nipple. I haven't started the car for about a couple of month's now with the exception of 2 weeks ago when I push started it. The fuel pump relay is fine cause I could hear the pump comming on and it even flood the engine.

it only starts when you push start it? could it be the starter or a faulty ignition switch?

Yeah I'm sure it's flooding. The injectors are fine and so are the seals cause I changed them out about 8 months ago, and I see no fuel leaking from the that area. The sparks plugs are black when I pull them, and yes I know it's flooding cause when I pull the plugs they have gas on them.

Have you checked timing, put in new spark plugs, checked for any codes?

Checked all that. Just last week I put some new plugs in and checked for codes, timing is good as well.
