Try deflooding it? Did you do a compression test?

If it's starting to fire, keep trying. Flooding can take longer to clear than you might expect. Are the spark plugs and coils all connected in the correct order? They're easy to mix up.

It does take a strong battery and a good ignition system to properly clear out an engine after deflooding. I would ensure the coils and wires are mounted and routed properly to start. Here is a diagram to help:

Good advice. I agree with the above. Keep trying, it will start. I once took nearly 2 hours to get one going once but it eventually started. Engine still had good compression too.

I am assuming the car was running fine before you changed the plugs+coils+battery? at the same time? If this was the case, then go over all the connections again. The Wiring harness to the coils, the coils to sparkplugs.

Otherwise you might have to start questioning what is flooding the car? gas / oil / coolant? Then we'd have to go through issues of Compression / spark / fuel / timing.
