Car only starts when i floor the gas! any suggestions?

My car just started to only start when i floor the gas pedal when it is cold, when it is hot it starts fine. I Checked the codes and found nothing. The car has new spark plugs/wires. Has anyone experienced this, or something like this. Any info will help. I think it is running too rich because i pulled the plugs when it wouldn't start and they were covered in gas.

flooring it fuel cuts. this means that your car is flooding, and won't start unless you cut the fuel. time to get the injectors cleaned, or maybe you can try some additive cleaner.

only when it is cold. did a compression check seemed to be fine. Cleaning the injectors would help flooding? I thought a clogged injector would make the car run lean. Any specific cleaners you might suggest?
