your engine is flooded, my 89 gtu does the same thing. I'd like to know if there is a fix.

Yeah, sounds like your engine is flooding. Could be a number of things though..

Have you replaced/tested your injectors?

One bandaid fix is to install a fuel cut off switch.. though depending on how bad your car is flooding, it may or may not work..

well an update to this solution which i was told when you crank the key and not starting its flooding the engine but the purpose for it not starting is a weak ignition switch, my friend had same problem and replaced a new ignition switch and the problem never happened again...
