You're flooded out.

Step 1) Find out why you're running super rich. It could be a bad coolant sensor, a failed fuel pressure regulator (you can tell by checking the fuel pressure), or simply fouled plugs not firing correctly

Step 2) Fix the issue

Step 3) Change oil. Gassy oil will kill bearings

Step 4) start car
