Sounds like it's flooded. Leaking FI maybe.

Thank you, thats a point to start the process. I have'nt had a chance to run codes yet and it seems to run ok after its warm.

I agree. Flooring the throttle while cranking will shut off the flow of fuel. If that's what it takes to get the car started, there is probably fuel present in the cylinder(s) already.
