umm? Im not sure are know what you are talking about, but...
1. never give a fuel injected car "gas" when starting it
2. unplug the injectors and turn the car over, it will probably start up then die (lack of fuel), then plug the injectors in
or
3. get new spark plugs, cause they are flooded and won't start the car

My mom went to start my truck and it didn’t start in like half a second like her mini van so the pumped the living snot out of it. the thing was so flooded out that you could smell the fuel. Some one told me that there is a way to get the thing to clear but I couldn’t figure it out so I unplugged the injectors opened up the tube and turned it over till it went pop plugged it back in and it started up but is this the only way to clear the thing

First things first. I have never heard of someone flooding a fuel injected car by pumping the pedal with the engine not running. Now to answer your question, just hold the pedal down and crank it till it clears and fires up. At least thats what the owners manual says.
