Or in the case of a turbo if the leak is after the turbo then it is getting more fuel than air and flooding itself. Depends on what side of the turbo is the leaking coming from. How do your spark plugs look?
sparks are fine. just cleaned them off because I believe the engine was flooded.
i've triple checked intake piping and nothing seems out of the ordinary.
