Try to start it.

You might also have a bad coil, or coils. And depending on the year, you might have the 'bad' starter.

We need more info. Modifications, mileage, year model.
There's 2 ways of doing it.

If you're stuck somewhere and cant get out the plugs, pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it several times and this will vent it into the exhaust, then replace the fuse and see if it will start. I've done this a couple times when I'm in a bind, and don't have time to mess with it.

Other wise pull the plugs, brake clean and wire brush them, pull the fuel and fuel pump fuses and blow the gas out the plug holes. Then just replace the plugs and fire it up. If it floods again while trying to crank it i usually resort to the previous method rather than pulling the plugs again.

I've never head of disconnecting the EPS DJ, but that doesn't mean that it may not be worth wild.
