Hi Francois,
When you are cranking the engine over (or your helper is) you should be able to hear the injectors clicking. No clicking - check electrics
After stopping cranking, the fuel pump should run for a few seconds - longer and you may have leaking injector(s).

It took me 2 days to get a towing to pick it up and no mechanic around
wanted to touch it so I had it towed to my house yesterday. Got home
too late to do much but pull the plugs.
They were flooded.
So today I put new plugs in, just to be sure. Tried to start and it
cranks, but starts to slow down and never fires.
I removed the relay for the injection so I could test the spark at the
plugs. Pull the first plug, cranked and saw the spark and what do you
know, the engine started on 3 cylinder (the other plug resting on the
top of the engine as I was checking the spark). Ran for a few seconds
then died. That's with the injection relay pulled...
So I put the plug back in and tried again, it did the same.
Alright then, let's put the injection relay and try again. It never
started. Pulled the injecton relay, started again then died.
It seems the cold start injector provides the right amount to start
the engine, but when all the injectors are going it's too much fuel.
I am kind of baffled. I've been averaging great mpg, excellent
driveability. I parked the car in the morning after a 1 hour drive
without glitch. And then it wouldn't start.
Given all the above, it sounds like the engine is not getting enough
air, but what could it be?
Ciao,
Francois
