would unscrewing a spark plug and checking for it being drenched in fuel tell you if the injectors are flooding?
Perhaps putting the gas pedal to the floor to clear the flood get it started sooner?

I am no mechanic, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt, but from all the posts, here are my thoughts that I think were missed:
1. I believe just putting in a new battery does NOT force a relearn. You need to disconnect the battery for about 30 min. That will clear the computer of all it learned. If you disconnect, pull out the battery and put a new one in– that’s not enough if it took 10 min. I have an 89 mustang– from what I’ve read, new IACs can be bad from the factory as well– but probably not.
2. From what I understand about the oil light on the dash, it’s driven by an oil sensor in the side of the block. The way I think it works is an on/off switch based on resistance. If it’s sitting in oil, it’s off. If it’s not sitting in oil, it’s on and turns the light on your dash. So to me, you’re seeing the light when there’s no oil on the sensor– at which point– where does the oil go?
