I purchased a 2000 3.2 to a few days ago at auction. Pulled it home on a tow dolly. Tried to start and engine was seized up. This morning I removed all plugs and hand cranked one full reveloution. Large amounts of fuel came out of all cylinders. Removed fuel pump fuse and used ignition switch to turn engine over until no gas was coming from the cylinder plug holes. Replaced fuel pump fuse. Turned Ignition switch on. Waited 15 seconds and turned engine over again. Fuel blew everywhere. What should I try first?

Also, the wipers will not shut off. Had to remove fuse to stop them.
