Need some serious S5 help
So I change the BACV in my car today, go to start it, and it won't start. It'll rev to about 2500 RPM and then die. I figured I flooded it. So I did the EGI fuse trick.........abuot 5 times. Didn't work. I took out all the spark plugs to see if they smelled like gas. The back leading plug smelled FAINTLY of gas.....not enough to where I think it was flooded. I stuck a rag in and cranked it, but nothing. I could see smoke coming from the engine bay, but couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. And I'm by myself STUCK at work, which doesn't help.
After try to unflood it with the same results, I went back to what I was originally doing.......my BACV. I put my old one back on thinking by some miracle of god that maybe that was why it was not starting for some strange reason. Didn't help at all. I got a little bit of coolant in the plug going into the valve, but I cleaned and dried it out.
I really am in a bind and would love if somebody could help me out. There's no way in hell I'm leaving my car down here in the southside after someone stole like 1100 cars in 5 days down here last week. If I had a gun I'd just sleep in my car and wait

Ok, so it definetly isn't flooded. If I hold the throttle open and start it, the bitch goes, but once I close the throttle it dies. I think my TPS is out of adjustment, how do I fix that?

Ya, I used rtv.
I was by myself so I couldn't roll start it.
My girlfriend ended up coming to get me....she's not big enough to push that thing, and didn't really understand the concept of push starting something.
It was dark out, and I didn't feel like scrummaging through my employees toolboxes in the dark to find a flathead screwdriver. I left my tools and lights in my gf's car, and by the time she got there I was so frusturated I just pushed it in the building with a forklift and left
