After multiple times trying to a head gasket install iv finally have no oil or coolant leaks. The problem now is as i crank it over the car kinda stumbles to start then dies emediately.

I pulled all spark plugs and #2 cylinder is full of gasoline. Compression is 130 on each cylinder except #2 and im positive i cant get a reading to the leak.

Id like to hear some ideas of what my problem is and how i mit fix it. Thanks
 
Just recently saw this in a friends car. It was his injector. It was stuck open, so when we were turning it over it was just constantly spraying with the valves open and closed. Trying swapping injectors around or put in a new one if you have it, but atleast swapping the injector from cylinder 1,3 or, 4 will tell you if its the #2 injector.

Oh yeah and compression of 130 sounds a bit low.
 
^^ Ok im gonna swap the injectors around and see what i get.
 
Iv swapped the injectors around and i no long have too much fuel but still no start. The wiring to the injectors snapped so i soldered them back together. Im guessing this solved or just complicated my problem. Iv done timing twice spot on and still no go. Im going to check spark when I can but Idk what else to look for...
