Sounds like the plunger in the metering head is stuck causing overfuelling, check the oil for petrol if its massively wet.

What do you mean by that, the EMFPA or the idle mixture screw?

holly carp, that dosnt sound good, if the injectors are buggered they can leak fuel even when the engine is off,
try pulling all the injectors out but keep all the red pipes connected, then put them into a clear bottle so u can see the fuel spray, then bridge the fuel pump relay, so its on continualy and see if fuel comes out, none should come out until u start to press the paddle down
