I didn’t think fuel-injected engines did that.

Throttle body FI could and in some models did do that.

Throttle body FI is more or less a glorified carburetor with an electronic dodad that spritzes the fuel into the throat instead of a carb's metering jets.. If the electronic dodad sticks or whatever happens to it, it will allow fuel to drip into the manifold after the car is shut off. On the next starting attempt, it's flooded.. As I said, had a company issued vehicle that did that.

Now - does anyone know if that Geo has throttle body FI or port FI?

I don’t know, and I don’t know where to look. If I’d had the $50, I would know the problem by now, as I had an appointment at 0900 this morning for the diagnostic. It will just have to wait, and I will try and keep my driving to a minimum. I don’t know what else to do. :o[

Cars get post nasal drip? And it makes them cranky?
