CRANK BUT WOT START i didint drive it for like 3 weeks so i took it for a spin i was on first gear switched to2nd and it chocked and died out and will not start it has spark i bought new sparkplugs and i gets flooded so it gets fuel so idk maybe too much fuel and the spark dies
 
whaaattt?? kinda hard to read...
uhm maybe you need some new wires. or maybe you have a boost leak and there is too much fuel in the cylinder and not enough oxygen/air.
 
Compression check? How old are the plugs/wires/coil ? Definitely boost leak test first and see what that comes up with.

The car should still fire up even with a boost leak (it will just die soon after).

Check to see if you have sparks. If none of the cylinders are firing, it could be from the power transistor.

I know but a combination of problems that usually make for a hard start if combined can make a no start.
