Default xr4x42.9i h reg running poor now wont start HELP PLEASE

im really scratchin my head with this i started her up fine the other night but within 5 mins she started to miss and would struggle to rev so i turned her off as she was low on fuel and the light had come on , i put a gallon of fuel in and now she wont even run ive took the plugs out and they are dripping spun her over and there is fuel puffing out of the bores ! checked spark and found it was not a really bright blue so i thaught the coil might not have a strong enough spark so i fitted a brand new bosch unit i had in garage but still spark was same so refitted old one and still no joy ! ive checked the timing which is fine as i thaught it would be as was running ok before ! now when you keep cranking every 8 to 10 seconds she tries to fire then stops trying! the only thing which might help u folk work this one out is it had a flat spot just off tick over when warming up but was ok when warm ! any help would be very thankfully recieved also does any one no of a link to an online manual or some info on the engine and sensors ?
