There is a possibility that it is still a good engine despite that it is
full of gasoline in it. I think one of the injectors has its core shot out
and the engine has become a deep pit for receiving constant flow of gas as soon
as the fuel pump begins pumping. Save the engine. Whatever the problem it may be
it is not one in the engine.
