Default Flooded motor with tons of fuel last thursday

Well i was on my way home late at night and the car just starts to spudder and then throws a solid cel at me. I end up driving it home and parking it. Turns out that the chip went bad and therefore my ecu was dumping the 450cc's wide open. I put my stock ecu back in and started it using the vafc to scale the injectors back. It was still missing a lot, but i let it idle a long time. So i take it for a drive thinking it may just be left over fuel. well it didn't get better at all. So i do a compression check. Well i notice cylinder 4 has a perfect spark plug but cylinders 1,2and 3 were super black. The compression test was okay 180's accross the board. I assum cylinder 4 wasn't getting enough fuel because i have the stock fuel system and it perhaps it wasn't providing enough fuel to supply cylinder 4 after all the other cylinders were hogging all the fuel.

My question is......do you think the gas got into my oil? and if so should i change it right away. I just put 5w-30 mobile one in about 100 miles ago so......

change the oil definitely....and why are you using 5w30? I think that is too thin for turbo cars...

change oil, and change the plugs. all that raw gas kills them which is why #4 is "clean"

i told u not to get those cheap uberdate chips

waht happened dylan is that the ecu used the normal maps once it went bad
wich means it made te injectors use long duty cycles wich in term on DSM injectors flooded ur engine since u werent boosting and u were scared
get new plugs, get a new chip and u will see that it will be ok

i dont see how u will get the gas on the oil...
but its time anyhow for u tochange it and put some 10-30

time to change the oil anyways? it's been in there for only 100 miles and is full synthetic moble 1? I am going to wallmart and picking up somemore oil. i'll get 10w-30 now that it's warmer out and i don't have to worry about cold start ups
