So the car will not start but cranks over with a weird grinding noise has a new optima battery and fuel pressure is at 46psi when primed, didn't know where to start diagnosing so i started with the spark plugs, pulled my spark plugs and all look good but was researching a bit and don't know if i should go with BPR7es currently using BPR8es car is on e-85, walbro 450 e-85 fuel pump, 1150cc fic's and using flex fuel GM sensors. Any advice? Lastly plugs are in cylinder order in the pictures, #3 looks like it has chocolate milk on it any thought?

Yea what's with grinding? Hopefully starter, not fully engaging, is it cranking faster than usual? Mine maid all sorts of noises when the balance shaft belt snapped and made the timing skip and destroy the head ( worst case)

Put the plugs back in except one and very spark by letting it arc on metal while cranking can normally setup to see through windshield at night.

Although id be more concerned about the grinding noise

Noticed few days old post hope you got it solved
 
Change your plugs and what kind of grinding sound? Check ur starters, see if youre getting spark.
