I have a 1993 3.4 v6 camaro thats flooding and the spark plugs are covered in gas and when i try to start it it backfires and wont start

 

Have you checked for a good spark? Is the check engine light lit? Have you scanned fro trouble codes?

 

no check engine light and the computer was reset so theres no codes it starts after i clean the plugs but then dies after about three seconds then it wont start at all

 

sounds flooded. Are you depressing the gas petal at all when you start the engine? If so DONT!! FI engines do not need "gas" to start. try replacing the plugs, if they get too fuel fouled then they will never work right. let the cylinders air out a little when you remove the plugs. Make sure you are getting spark, just like Pete said. When it does start can you play with the petal to keep it running? Also has the VATS system been messed with?

Im not presing the gas and how do you find out if the vats is causing it

 

put a piece of tape on the chip on the key and see if the engine will still start. If the system has been bypassed it could start for a few seconds then die once the computer tries to read the chip.

Either electronic or a leaky injector.

 

I changed the spark plugs and it ran and i didnt have enough coolant and the temp went passed the red and it blew a head gasket how hard are the head gaskets to do

 

if you have to ask it is to hard, no offense

 

Plus if you blew a gasket from overheating, chances are very good a head is now warped.
Both heads need to be taken to a machine shop to get trued up and possibly a valve job.
