I bought this car second hand. It hand a problem with low power. I installed a new fuel pump and it worked perfectly for about 6 kilometres. When my wife came back from the shop she parked the car. It stood for about two hours. I tried to start the car. It started but misfired very bad and had no power. I installed another fuel pump but no improvement. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator but still no improvement. The pistons keeps on flooding. I connected a ODB11 device. Erros code {P0100} is the mass air flow and {P0072} air temp sensor. I don't think that this is the problem. Could it be that the cylinder head could be cracked or a blown head gasket? The injector is opening and all plugs are firing. Or could it be worst like a hole in the piston or blow rings?

The sensors you mentioned can cause a rich fuel mixture. You mentioned it was flooding. Therefore, I would recommend checking the MAF and the ATS. Keep in mind, the computer in the vehicle takes info from the sensors. If they are not working properly, that could be the problem.
