So now I'm really confused. It's been flooding out every time it starts for the last week, and did it this morning as I expected, and when I went on my lunch. Now it suddenly starts right up but still gets crappy gas mileage/runs rich.

I will have my coolant temp sensor tomorrow so I shall see what that does.
