I am having a hard time starting my car and it seems to be flooding. I have checked the plugs after having started it once and they were soaked with fuel. Also when I checked the oil the dipstick smelled alot like raw gas. I have went through alot of new plugs and oil changes and the same thing happens again. What could be the problem
rebecca?

Check the fuel pressure regulator/oxygen and coolant temperature sensor. Injector/s leaking or an excessive fuel pressure.

You need to change the oil after you locate what's causing it to be in the crankcase. If not you're ruining the engine.
