Cold start flood and coolant level buzzer

hello again ive reading past post but i havent found any one with my exact problem
when the car is cold it always floods ive been parking on hills to get the car to start after it starts it runs fine . here where i'm confused a while back i wanted to replace the fuel sending unit so i pulled up the carpeting to the harness and wiring short time after that flooding problem started so i started disconnecting the harness from the fuel pump i thought that this would solve the problem but it just floods a little less now also im loosing coolant im going replace my radiator cap and the cap next to the housing i think its the filler cap would a compressing check telling me if i need new water seals ?? and would bad water seals cause the flooding oh and ever since the flooding started the oil psi has been lower y any help please

You'll need to post vehicle information before anyone can help. Punctuation and grammar are also a plus.

They're a well respected rotary specialty shop and the owners are similarly well respected on this forum. Being in NJ it can't be too far from you. Your dealing with multiple issues, multiple questions.

Flooding has three common causes:

1. General poor tune
2. Leaky, old injectors (have them professionally serviced)
3. Low compression
