Default 94 wont start

Wife called me from Wal-Mart and said her car wont start(94 gt). I get there I got it started drove it home, it was idling @ 2000-2500rpm and running like it is loading up or something. I pull it into garage turn it off and emiately try to start it and it wont start. I put the gas pedal all the way to the floor and after 5-6 seconds it will hit on 4-5 cylinders and puff out a black strong fuel smelling smoke/fumes then nothing. Here is where I confused...It is got good fuel pressure it is getting fuel into cylinders (it smells like fuel all through garage)I pull plug and fuel on the plug. I put a plug into a plug wire and it is firing good.
Spark + fuel = start right??? Not in my case.

if unplugging the maf works, try cleaning it afterwards

Would the maf cause it not to start at all?

if it's flooding as a result of a fubar maf then that will cause a no/hard start
