I have found a hose that appears to be unplugged though I don't know where from. It is a yellowish plastic hose and it goes from the engine compartment down through the floor under the battery. It has a cloth rubber connector on the end. I cannot check for vacuum leaks as the car only runs for seconds before loading the plugs with gas.
I did check the head temp sensor and it is plugged in solid but I don't know if it works. I will check my fuel pressure next as it seems this could be the only way I could raise the oil level on my dipstick 1-1/2 inches in a half hour. This is an insane amount of gas being sent to the engine!!

I did find evidence of a small fire at the entrance to the throttle body. I at first thought it backfired and took out the mass airflow sensor. But again, would I get this much gas?


Thanks for the help. If anyone has any further advice please let me know.
