You might have flooded the engine.

So you might need to

1. Remove to fuel pump fuse.

2 hold the gas pedal all the way to the floor.

3 crank the engine for a total of one minuite, in 10 second incriments. Let rest for 15 seconds to cool the starter, repeat.

4 reconnect the fuel pump fuse.

5 see if it will start normally.

 

Ty very much will do that

It is possible to flood a fuel injected engine if the starter is used to crank and crank. That's because the injectors are spraying fuel the whole time.
You mentioned that you hado wet spark plugs.
Really no different than a carb engine. Because the carb would keep spraying as well.
Both systems clear out by flooring the gas pedal.
That lets enough air into to the engine to evaporate the gasoline.

I have a very difficult time understanding what you are saying. I'm having problems with grammer and run-on sentences. We are talking about some technical stuff. I can't help if I can't comprehend what you are trying to say.
