Exclamation Help with ignition!!!!

Hey everyone. I just bought a 95 GT. The only problem is it wont start. It will crank but it wont turn on. When i went to see the car before i bought it the guy started it and it started right up, but it would idle really low like it was gona die then it would idle normal. It just kept doing that until it died. Then when we tried to start it again it would not start. We tried all day but it wouldnt start. The next day i went to look at it again and the same thing happened all over again (started stayed on with wierd idle drove fine..bu was a liitle wierd on the gas then i parked it, turned it off, went to turn it on agian and it wouldnt start.

Some info:
New coil
Seller said it had a supercharger and bigger injectors, and when he took of the s/c it started to do that.
He also said it floods and if you let it sit for a day it will be ok to start again.

If anyone has any ideas of what it could be let me know.
Thanks.

check fuel pressure, it may be set to high for a n/a motor

is the motor fairly stock? how big are the injectors?

can you have too big of injectors on an NA motor and make it flood? like lets say 42#ers on a stock motor?

well there are 24lb injectors o it. And its pretty stock just the typical cold air intake, intake manifold, full exhaust. He said it has a cam in it and it does sound like it but not really. Cant really tell if it does or not, if it does its very mild. And im not sure what the fuel pressure was set at. What do you guys think it should be set at for these mods?
What else could it be if the fuel pressure is ok?
