im drowning !!!!!!!!

ok , so recently i got done replacing head gaskets and valve seals . now after putting evrything back together and timing my lo3 tbi right , it runs real rich , i followed the chilton's instructions on timing , and still i get white smoke out of my tail pipe , ands its raw fuel , not anitfreeze. any suggestions , btw i have e3 spark pluggs on my engine and they are supper black from all the gas that is being dumped in there , also my car wont start unless i open full throttle and crank then tbi floods and i have to disconnect fuel injectors and burn the gas in the pistons then i try to start again but nothing .

Re: im drowning !!!!!!!!

yes it is , but i think i just found out what my problem is , i bypassed my coolant switch and im getting a code for it on my ecm , so pretty much my car is stuck in enrichment mode and therefore runs rich all the time and i think that by messing with my tgrottle body choke i choked it tooo much and thats why it wonts stay on or who knows but thats what im going going to do saturday , hopefully it work and if not well , i'll let you know if it workd or not
