Thank you for looking at my cry for help. Long story short I took my car to a shop because it wouldn't start they told me the engine was flooded. Because of a dirty air filter (cold intake) so it"washed the cylinders?". So they put in a new air filter and new spark plugs (soak of gas) It worked fine for 5 months. The problem happened again they told me the same-thing. they put in new spark plugs and runs fine. I told them my check engine light (primary o2 sensor) came on about 7 months ago and i erased it they said "you should change it but it wouldn't make it flood just run rich" I don't push the gas when it start or anything. Everything is bone stock on my car except my intake.

Thank you

Sounds like your fuel pressure regulator is faulty. Check your fuel pressure at the fuel rail.
