car will start but if not given any gas it would die

So I left to los cabos for 3 weeks and I just got back , I tried to start my fc (1990s5 n/a) and at first white smoke came out and it would die if not given gas , then I tried again no smoke but same thing ,it would die if not given any gas , I then started to give it gas an hold it around 5 to 3000 rpms . But then again once off the gas it would shut down on me , it was running fine before I left for vacation, I even had tooken it a week before I left to a mechanic in SD that works on rotarys , everything in the engine , compression , sonoids were good , good fuel pump and pressure, good Injectors, they were even cleaned and rail . I try the one way to unflood it by cranking it without a fuse , then try with it , I tried a few times , the engine did sound a Lil better , but same it wouldn't stay on , I am gonna take the spark plugs out and lub my seals , but I would like help from anyone on here , since I am new first owner of a fc rotary car ,

Probably flooded, and if so, it may have fouled the spark plugs.

even if the plugs are brand new if you flood the car the plugs can get fouled
