It ran great and idled perfect before whatever caused it to not turn over (suspected fuel hydro lock).

After finally getting the crank to turn manually and no abnormal sounds (that could mean mechanical problems).

the car starts up on a cold start and idles for about 20-30 secs, then drops off and dies. The second start, same. When I start again, I rev up to 3500-4000 rpms and it sounds rough then release the gas pedal, it drops off and dies.

After doing that, I removed the spark plugs to see if I smell and see fuel on one of the spark plugs to see if there is a leaking injector (fuel hydro lock) and none of the cylinders have moisture or fuel signs.

I checked:

1. Spark plugs: good
2. cylinders for fuel: no fuel after car has been started and after stopped
3. coil pask connectors: good/connected
4. oil level: good
5. checked vacuum leaks: good
6. throttle body butterlies completely closed when car is off: good
7. I hooked up BlatZ: Nothing stands out but i recorded the idle and rev If anyone wants to see
8. I noticed soot spots/sprinkles on the floor at the exhaust.

I'm out of ideas. Any other ideas, suggestions, or help would be great.

Thanks
