Default Need help car won't start!

I keep having this problem with my car getting flooded with fuel. My setup is D16Y8, with Drag Kit, VAFC, DSM injectors,FMU, w/ full 3" turbo back exhaust. On occastion my car won't start, but it only happens when I have to go somewhere . When this happens I pull my plugs and they are soaked with fuel. What is causing this? It usually only happens on a cold start.
Thanks

sounds like FMU faliure, possibly sticking OPEN. un hook it (dont boost!!!) and see if the problem still exists.

Sorry but why else would you get in your car and start it? To not go somewhere?

Hope it gets fixed...bump.

could also be fualty injectors. First go with the FMU route, then get the injectors cleaned.

easiest answer would be to get some 450 or 440cc injectors and run the VAFC hack...kiss that POS FMU goodbye, and enjoy smooth boost

Meant to say when I have something important to do.

I already have 450 dsm injectors, but have been told to stay away from "the hack"

I'm going to try, I'll try unhooking the FMU, what if I installed an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, would that help prevent the flooding?
