Check the coolant temperature sensor.

Suggested Repair

Check the coolant temperature sensor, which can cause a rich mixture and flooded cylinders if it is reading incorrectly.

Conversation Summary

A 2000 Mazda 626 cranks with spark at the plugs but will not start because the cylinders are flooded. Fuel pressure was about 2.5 bar and a scan found no fault codes. The expert recommended checking the coolant temperature sensor. A separate note about a 1990 Mazda 626 cooling fan was not addressed.
