I traced the lack of spark to a bad in line spark tester, then retimed the
engine, the problem seems to be that the engine is flooding. When you remove
the spark plugs the leading plug is dry but the trailing plug is wet with
gas.


Dose this sound like the injectors are sticking open and if so is there a
test for this?



Thanks

The trailing plug has little to do with it. If you can't wet the leading (lower) plugs
I don't think it is getting enough gas. Check for intake manifold system
air leaks between the mass air flow sensor and end housings ports. Other than
listening for the leaks I don't know of an easy way of doing this.
You could look at the mass airflow sensor trap door and see if it is opening
on its own when you try to start the car.

With a steel rod or stethoscope you should be able to hear all four injectors
clicking when you try to start the car.

Disconnect the return line and plumb it to a jar and see if your are getting
fuel to the fuel rail. Or hook up a fuel pressure gauge.

If so the next thing to try is pull the fuel rail and injectors and
use safety wire to wire the injector to the fuel rail. (If you don't do this
the 40 psi fuel pressure will spit the injectors out of the fuel rail.)

Place four jars under the injectors and see if they are spitting fuel.

I assume you are getting three nice pulses in a row on each rotor
when you use a compression gage without the schrader valve.
