Update on the update.
It was flooded.
My mechanic called me back and asked: "last night, did you move the car a few feet to put up Christmas decorations?"
Eerie! I did!
He stayed on the phone and instructed me to not touch anything and crank it until it catches, even if it takes over a minute. Then rev it once it starts and let it run for about ten minutes until it stops smoking.
Worked like a charm! And it took almost a minute of straight cranking.
It's apparently common on fuel injected cars to flood badly when they are started and moved just a few feet and turned off.
So.... There's the quick tip for the day!
