If you have spark and you think that the engine is flooded, check to make sure the timing belt hasn't snapped. Take off the oil cap and look at the cam shaft while someone cranks the engine. Should see the cam turning.

Once verified that the cam is turning, rotate the engine till cylinder 1 is at top dead center (there is markings for this on the harmonic balancer and the cam cover). Once at TDC, pop the distributer cap off and verify that the rotor is pointing to cylinder 1 or 4.

If all that checks out, then re-verify your spark as machine man suggested.
