Pull the plugs to check to see if one cylinder is flooding, or if they all are?

Fetch the codes to see if the ECU thinks anything is wrong?

Oh- btw, this sounds like what you'd have if your fuel pressure
regulator was either dead, or the vacuum plumbing to it isn't
healthy.  If it doesn't see a nice vacuum at idle, the fuel pressure
will be way too high and the engine will run very rich.  If you have
a hand vacuum tester(mityvac or similar), disconnect at the back of
the IM the hose that T's off to the computer and the FPR, and try to
apply a vacuum to it.

HTH,
