Looks like you have an overfueling situation. Maybe the injectors are opening too much and that can be due to a problem with the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor.

Remove all spark plugs and disconnect the PGM-FI main relay. Crank the engine for a few seconds to clear out the cylinders of excessive fuel. Reinstall evverything and try starting.
