My car after leaving a red light yesterday started flooding really bad. I put a new O2 sensor on it today but still flooding. MAF reading at idle is 6-7 anyone know what would cause it to flood so bad? Won't hardly pull itself. The car idles fine but as soon as i start to give it gas it floods and black smoke goes everywhere. TPS numbers on the direct scan show to be fine while pushing the pedal down. I also checked for vacuum leaks and there are none.
Engine Flooding Really Bad, Help Please

Hi ,
Excellent diagnosis! I once ran a turbo buick across town with a popped off up pipe,almost killed the person following me with rich fumes. What a mess!It was at night,just bought the car and couldn't see to diagnose it. Used a half tank of gas to go 23 miles. It's amazing what crap happens over a hose clamp! All turbo cars are sensitive to this; I remember a 740 Volvo that behaved the same way.Also, a SVO Mustang I worked on years ago had similar issues. Keep those hose segments and clamps in good condition,and TIGHT! Once again, GOOD diagnosis.
