One or more of your fuel injectors are leaking when you shut off the car . This could be from extremely dirty injectors in which a couple of tanks of good fuel system cleaner might help or they may be so bad that only a professional cleaning may help, or you could have bad injectors . Are all the plugs wet or just a couple ?

sounds just like a problenm I had w/ my s10 pu. Thewre would be so much gas that if gushed out fron the throttle body. we lost 1/4 tank of fuel trying to figure out what was wrong. it was only flooding the 1st & 4th injector. by accident found out the fix.

we soaked the the 1st fuel inj in carb cleaner overnight, when we came back we found that we forgot to remove the upper o-ring. I say upper b/c there is also a lower (we did not know this at the time b/c the lower orings were not on the injectors 1&4, they got chewed up somewhere) until we referenced haynes. check your manual. the lower ones, or lack of, were causing the flooding.
