First off. You must chill. Second off. I don't think it's flooding it. The injectors shouldn't be pumping the fuel. The fuel pump will just be pumping it to the rails, and then to the return line. So you might have other problems (THis is fox body.. I assume SN95's aren't that different). I Guess I'd start checking wires.. http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/te...ng_Diagram.gif

Maybe the relay isn't releasing (Would find that odd)...
