the car is a Bastard and will not start
 
I dont know what is going on but the car will not start
over the last week I was able to get it running once and I let it run for about 10 min or so and it ran really rich and even when I reved it up a bit and then let it idle back down the fumes about made me pass out.

it has an idle at about 500 rpms and will dip to about 200-300 if I turn the wheel or something like that. and it does idle nice and smooth. I killed the car once and was not able to start it again.

it always smells like fuel and it is starting to piss me. plugs are new,wires are still within specs for ohms, have fuel injector clean running in the tank right now, also the car ran fine one day came out to start it a few days later and it then this started going on.

any ideas for things to check?

yeah it is flooded but even after it starts it will keep running rich as hell
I would figure after running fora while I would clean all that fuel out of there but nope
any ideas why the car started running like this?

please guys I need your help

Hey, it sounds like the car thinks it's way cold! I would check the water thermosensor to see if it is open or if the connector is not making good contact. The sensor is under the alternator.
