Or a leaking FPR. Or a stuck/leaking injector. It could also be a shorted injector driver transistor or the injetor wiring, or a single grounded injector (same effect).

Re: TPI flooding

hey dude i just had the EXACT same problem. i changed my injectors today and it solved the problem. just check your plugs just to make sure they are soaked in gas. just so you know its flooded for sure.

In other words, you have lots of possibilities, and things to check. Before replacing anything, diagnose system.
