Post-Rebuild, hasn't started since it was put together...

I know it sounds crazy but I had the same problem with an 85 GSL-SE, fuel injected. The sensor on the back of the water pump housing, wiring had a short and was telling the computer that it was sub zero temp. That was dumping fuel wide open. I could pull the fuel line loose and the car would start and run till it ran out of fuel in the chambers. Hooked the fuel lines up and would flood instantly. Ended up changing the harness and fixed the problem.

Good luck hope this helps.
