More TPS Disaster :(

The past few days after shutting my car off, i get back inside and go to start it, to find out the engine is flooded with farkin gas and it will NOT start.. today it took me approx 30 cranks on and off at WOT to burn the gas and start it. I hooked my pc to it, and with the einge off it reads 3.0+ volts. We reset the damn thing and it just jumps back up to 3+(WOT) when we start it...thats at idle!! someone has got to know an answer im ready to drive my car off a cliff, its pissin me off, and even moreso, to the point where i donno wtf to do. Detailed instructions would be so helpful, I know one of you smart peeps may know how to get the job done. P.S. the MAP sensor was replaced 4 months ago, and the TPS a few days ago.. and im getting a constant 3.+ volts to it. I dont know what to do

Instead of the PC, use a DVM directly at the TPS terminals to diagnose the setting. It's a lot more reliable.
