I guess I could try starting fluid but I'm kind of afraid of that with a rotor.

To me that sounds like one or more leaking injectors. The fuel rail will stay pressurized over a half hour on a good system. IF one or more injectors is leaking it will cause flooding and or washing down of the rotor/housing.

There is nothing wrong using starter fluid. As long as you don't try to KEEP the engine running using it. Just one to three seconds into the air filter assy or snorkel will do. I'd suggest disabling the fuel pump when using it and I DON'T mean pulling EGI fuses bs when saying so. No spark if EGI are pulled. So spraying ether would do no good if you pulled fuses.

I never pull cars to start them. Ever.

As an aside I suggest checking and making sure the waterthermo sensor is connected up and or making sure it's contacts in the plug are not pushed back not making contact. Either that or making sure the ECU is seeing the signal from the waterthermo sensor. ECU uses the rpm, waterthermo sensor signal and seeing the START signal to deliver fuel when STARTING the engine. See training manual for what I mean. Lack of waterthermo sensor will not cause flooding though. So you might disregard that for now.
