Strange that the plastic before the throttle body would be wet. Where does the PCV enter in?Ok, I pulled off the plastic intake box thing and it was full of gas. It will idle now (no oil pressure according to gauge) but still not super smooth.
Oil kind of smells like gas too.
Pulled the spark plugs and #4 was dry, #3 was soaking wet, and #2 & #1 were kinda wet. Plugs in pic are left to right, 1-4
Any ideas?

Are you sure it somehow collected water from sitting so long? I can’t immediately understand how, but since the liquid that came out the exhaust was not entirely fuel, and it obviously was not combusting well/properly to make the case that it’s from combustion... then what??? Unless I’m not understanding the “where” correctly, it’s way before any point with fuel, so even if an FPR was dumping fuel, how would it get there?
Wet plugs are a clue, but from fuel? Water? Etc?
Only thing I know is that it sounds like what I encountered on my old 91 bmw when one of the breather hoses had fallen off. That engine would stall easily with a vac leak. Before I knew what it was I had to give lots of throttle to give lots of extra fuel (the excess air past the throttle was immaterial) to run.
