Default Running Rich

I have been having trouble with my 94 V6 , I parked it for a couple days to put some miles on my new 331 in my GT. After three days I decided to start up the old V6 and it started to sputter and misfire,I drove it to work anyway thinking it would clear up..the car was smokin all the way and the smell of unburned fuel was obvious, I went ahead and changed all the plugs and found a broken sparkplug wire which I repaired,and my EGR tube had a line that broke off going to a sensor by the throttle body, also repaired that but the car is still flooding any ideas..[sm=smiley24.gif]

Try cleaning the MAF element.Three days is long enough for a determined squirrel to build a nest just about anywhere.
