Need help with a fuel problem!

Well I finally got my car started today after 2 weeks of it sitting, took out the spark plugs and the EGI fuse turned it over for about 30sec and then put everything back in and put the gas peddle to the floor and it fired. Drove it around for a bit, ran good no problems. Got it back to my house parked it in front of my shop and went to move it and it wouldnt start, did the same thing as before and it fired.

So, if it sits for just a little bit it gets flooded, do I have bad injectors, or something else? I am stumped. Thanks

Probably either leaking injectors or low compression.

What is the compression? It should be above 80PSI on all rotor faces, with the engine warm and the throttle at WOT.

Ok, I will check compression. Should I just replace the injectors?

Or you can get them cleaned, or you can make a fuel cutoff switch.
If you have low compression you will eventually need a rebuild.

Ok, I will take them out this week and clean them. I dont think I have low compression, but I will double check. Thanks

You need to get them sonically cleaned btw, not a good scrub. (I think)
