Default what's wrong with my car? Please help

First of all the search is not working so please don't tell me to use the search. My car starts after 2 turns and will then die out in 2 seconds. It seems like it is choked or something and it smells like fuel inside the car, but there are no leaks. Also, when it was running, it felt like the tranny was slipping and like it was running on 6 or 7 cylinders. The car has pretty much no more torque and it really sucks.

I am installing a new battery and the FAST 90/90 as we speak along with bigger injectors.

It is an A4 Z-28, FLP Longtubes with QTP electric cutout, 232/236 112lsa 598 cam, stock heads, YANK SS3600, installiing the 90/90 and the 36lbs injectors now.

Please let me know if any of you have had this problem and what I have to do to fix it

Injectors are only going to make in run more like crap...try to make the car run when you start it up by giving it some throttle

I do start it up by giving it some gas, but as soon as I let up on the gas it dies out. How will it be worse with bigger injectors?

It will be worse because they will flow more fuel. However if you have injectors stuck open new injectors should help, but it will still run rich.

You check your TB? or drill it out or adjust the idle?
