I woul recommend a compression test. It sounds like your engine flooded but the reason it flooded could because of low compression and or leaky injectors or maybe something else.

Does your gas pedal give you some trouble? Like is it hard to kind of "balance" it, or does it kind of stick while depressing it?

My 87 TII does this, and it will stumble at about 1/4 throttle while cruising, so maybe we have a similar problem like leaky injectors...
