I have a 1994 F150 inline 6 and some times when I try to start it it will start to turn over it wont reach an idle. I usually have to give it gas or keep turning it over and by the time it does reach an idle its flooded. yesterday I had to turn it over 8 times before it would start and it was outragusly flooded. It is EFI and I'm not sure what it could be doing. Keep in mind it only does this some times, I started it up later the other night and it didnt do it, but later that night at around 1am is did the same thing at a gas station. But today I've started it twice and have had zero issues.

Also theres a purple fluid all over the top of the battery and I've been told its some type of sealer just from looking around. I really need help on this because thursday night I have to drive 170 miles to South Carolina and I'm scared ****less that it wont start up at some point.

 

Sounds like a bad MAP sensor but you need to find out what the stored codes are in your computer.
