Help Car wont start

Ok so I just replaced the Water pump, timing belt an idler pulley and the radiator two days ago. The car ran great then last night I was driving at about 20 mph and the car just died. the timing belt and everything is still fine, the motor turns over and there is fuel getting to the injectors. So its not the fuel pump and there are no fuses blown and they are all getting electric to them. I am thinking it is the igniter. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone have a similar problem and know how to fix it?

I guess you would have to suspect something related to the work that you have just done. Check all the wires,plugs,etc that may have been disturbed during the job. Especially the crank and cam sensors plugs. If these are not connected properly, there may be fuel at the injectors, but there won't be any injection or spark.

I am going to check and see if there is spark tomorrow then if there isnt I am going to tear it all back apart and check the sensors. I dont know why the car would run for two days and then the sensors would be messed up I didnt even touch them but I guess I will see. thanks

There is spark but for some reason the car is flooded it somehow became flooded while I was driving it. Its really flooded. Does anyone know why it would do this??? Tried to unflood it even disconected the power to the injectors so it wouldnt keep flooding but car still wont start. I am waiting to see if I can get all the fuel out right now.
