Please Help Me

The car will not start 4 nothing. It cranks like its about to start but nothing. The more i crank the more the engine gets flooded.
I've changed all sensors, starters, spark plugs, battery, even the engine. The engine because it had alot of miles ,but that still did not fix the problem. Had a friend replace the ECU and the igintion 4 me, and nothing. Everything works in the car a\c radio windows everything, just that the car will not start. Going back alittle before when the car was working it would take sometimes 2 to 3 minutes to start, other times 10 to 15 cranks it seem to always to have this problem. I took it to 4 mechanic and nothing ,tow ,tow and, tow im tried anybody have any ideas.
junking the car is not possible.
this car is really nice. help please

wow that is strange, that would be funny but not funny if it turn out to be something simple from the begging like forgot to connect a sensor

dont know what is left to suggest, check all fuses, underdash and hood.

A bad crankshaft (POS) sensor will cause a no-start condition as will a bad camshaft position sensor... both are easy to DIY... I would start there....
