need help ASAP

I was supposed to pick up may car from the mechanic tonight after work( I had the apexi safc taken out). The car was flooding itself, dumping fuel bad w/ it in. I don't get off work until midnight, no mechanic around, but the car is outside. SO I jump in start it and the same thing is happening!! I've owned this rx 6months Only driven it for one( alittle to do w/ winter). It is lightly modded, but that should make it run lean if anything. Does anyone have any clue as to what the deal is? I know what mods are on it just not brands, I bought the car with them already on.

Didn't want to here that, these mechanics just rebuilt it, that is what it was originally in the shop for. Thanks for the help though.

Could have a bad or missing injector o-ring, check that too. Did a turbo install on a Nissan 240 and my friend forgot to put the small injector o-ring (the smaller of the two) on the injector. Flooded the car like a sum-bitch. Had close to 9 quarts of a fuel/oil mixture in the oil pan when we drained it! Almost washed the rings out. Cylinder walls sure are clean now.
