Please, Please, repost that without the run-on sentence and lack of periods. I read it 3 times and I don't quite understand. Maybe it's the beer?

Maybe, there's a really good way to find out...it's called a compression test.

Okay, I "think" I understand what your saying.

It could be a weak motor flooding out. My old OEM original low compression motor would flood out and give me nice white fuel smoke. The beautiful wind would draw that smoke from the exhaust up into the engine compartment.

Does it smell like gas? S4 or S5? Any mods? How many miles on the motor?

What I meant was that a couple of weeks ago I had the car idling not to well but sufficient. I left it alone for about a week or two. One day I tried cranking it and ended up flooding my motor after I de flooded the engine, It fired up but wouldn't stay on I tried revving it up but it just loses rpms

Deflood the bejesus out of it, and do a compression test.

Post your numbers.
