Pull the vacuum line off the FPR and check for fuel if there new FPR and smell for fuel in the oil. Change if there.

Sounds like you may have crossed a plug wire.

This wont work if it's a cfi as noted in the title..

ww.neilkline.com/Tech%20Tips/obdcodes.htm use this link to use the paperclip method to check for codes..

Sounds like mine when the front coolant sensor failed. ECU thinks it's cold and starts flooding the engine.
