Engine Flooded., Wont start, flooded with fuel. Options

[sugarfree]

My car last friday died on my street when i was coming home from work. I drove probably 2 miles while the car was misfiring because spark plug wire#3 came off the distr. Well i cant get it to start now and when i take the spark plugs out, theres fuel all over them I took all 4 of them out to let the fuel dry in there. But i still seem to be having the same problem when i put everything back together. It wont crank up, itll want to crank up but then itll bog down and die. Any ideas?

after flooding an engine, if it is as bad as a case as you have made it, then there is only two things you can really do.

First, take out all the spark plugs and turn the engine over a couple times (this will shoot a lot of the gas (in gas form) into the air.

Second, after spark plugs are dry (and cleaned off with a wire brush, unless they are just really dry), actually, if it has been a while, replace your spark plugs and wires (check your distributor too).
THEN when you go to start the car, hold the gas pedal all the way down to the floor. This tells the cpu to shut off the injectors and try to start.

However, you can try the end of step two first. (THEN when you go to start the car, hold the gas pedal all the way down to the floor. This tells the cpu to shut off the injectors and try to start.)

Well, good luck
