Hold down the pedal while cranking it and that should have the computer clear the flood. Better yet, unplug the fuel pump fuse and crank it.

Is the temperature sensor on the driver side head near cylinder 1 connected? I heard if that is off the car won't start.

EDIT:Ooops, I see you said it cranks. I guess my wild guess is wrong. Sorry.
