This is the same RXT I posted about in the "I didn't want to be one of those guys..." thread. This is an update, so thank you to all who helped me there!
I put a new batt in it, cleaned all the ground connections, put in new spark plugs, pulled codes (only compass out of whack). I left the plugs out over the weekend to air out/evaporate any possible fuel residue. Put the plugs in and hit the starter... for a split second it sounded like a normal start up and almost started, but immediately went back to sputter (with starter still turning the motor over) and you smell fuel out the exhaust. From everything I've been through with this the best I can determine is that it is flooding out (fuel). Could a stuck Idle Control Valve be allowing too much fuel in at start up?? Any suggestions?
