Won't start
have 95 Olds 88 with 3.8.
It overheated and leaked coolant into intake through the upper intake gasket. I ran comp. test. All cylinders checked good for a 120 k engine I thought(165 to 195 psi). Replaced upper intake with kit witch included : intake ,intake gasket, PCV valve and all necessary O-rings. Have it all back together but it will not start Have fuel and spark. Seems to be flooding. Any thoughts????? Thanks

Did you by any chance remove the TPS sensor from the throttle body?

Re-verify that your spark plug connections are in the correct order. And make sure your getting spark too.

Bob, I am not sure how your are checking for spark, however I just want to mention this is the right spark tester to have. KD tools 2756 !
Part 1 -HEI Spark Tester: How it Works.
Did you install new spark plugs and check gap or just clean up old ones?
