Default Engine flood 95 xj questions

I think I have a flooded engine. My jeep wont start. Before it went out it had round idle issue it out go up and down between 300 and 8 but it would always steady after about 5 min. it became hard to start after i came out of the groecy store. When it started black came out. Thew a 14* code so i changed the map senor. Has not started in 3 days only cranks. I can smell gas. Took the spark plugs out and the smelt like gas and were black. When it cranks it sounds like it really wants to turn. My dad tested the spark and its there.

I can smell gas and i can hear my fuel pump. Changed CPS already. My spark plugs are sitting out for the night so im putting them in the morning. I cleaned them with an old sock. is there anything i should do when i put them back in? No codes after map sensor changed...also when ikt ran you could smell gas no hole in manifold check

have pics of the spark plug i took out its on my profile. Dont know how to load picture on thead

Nice solid blue-white spark? Have you checked the cap, rotor and plug wires are they reasonably new?

Yea check the cap I changed it about a month ago so I know it good just a lil worn nothing major it only on the metal part where the spark os and its dry wires are also new same with cap did a tune up 2 months ago


He said the spark looked good with what I know of his skill I'm sure it was blue if you want I posted a pic of the spark plugs there sitting in my basement drying for the night a couple of them looked more black than the others.


How can a fuel injector flood


They all seemed to have a far amount of gas on them
