Car won't start floods out.

I can not get my car (3.1 MFI) started, it floods out. It floods so bad that I get fuel running out of the throttle body, not sure if it is the fuel pressure regulator or my timing jumped a cog.
I bought this car last summer for $250. They thought the ECM was out it has 216K miles on it, but uses no oil and runs fairly good when going down the road. I got an ECM from my brother in-law and changed it but I never could get it to idle. I changed the IAC, TPS, O2 sensor, PCV valve, Plugs & Wires.
I do not have a fuel pressure gauge, yet, and I can't find any timing marks on the harmonic balancer to check timing. So I am not sure where to start, looks like the fuel regulator is about $100. and timing gears and chain not cheap either.
If someone has any idea what my problem is it would be greatly appreciated.
