Hi all,
As the title states, I have a 2001 Mustang GT, 4.6, just purchased (not running) and it looks mostly stock except some model of BBK Cold Air Intake, not sure of anything else at this point. Also have no idea what is wrong with this problem or any others.

Symptoms-at first it was very hard to start, and when it did , it would not stay running. If I keep pushing on the throttle it will run, but not clean. It sounds like it is trying to die. If I let off throttle it will sputter and die. I got it to run for about 2 seconds then die again

Possible solutions already tried-
Emptied fuel tank, brand new gas in it, replaced fuel filter. Transmission fluid down the cylinders to try to build compression.
cleaned IAC with carb cleaner, reset battery

Current status- After this is when I got it started fully finally, still had to pump the throttle but it was at least started. It is still dying after start, IF it does start.
It appears fuel is coming out of the throttle body/carburetor area, like its flooding itself out which appears to be causing it to die.

Can anyone recommend any troubleshooting things or what might be causing the car to flood, and fuel in the carburetor?

I tried to be as clear as possible. Any questions please message me or post and I'll be glad to talk.

Need some serious help to get this car to start right and stay running or idle right.
Thanks in advance.

If fuel is coming out of the throttle body then you have troubles. Probly have a bad fuel pressure regulator.
