Engine starts then dies 2-3 sec later

Ok similar to my problem, how black are they? Can you post a picture?

Black is overfuelling, mine was due to the sensor plugs back to front overfuelling to the point that it would wet the plugs and not fire.

they are pretty black. but i am able to wipe it clean. I am trying to figure out how to post a pic. once i figure it out i will get one up.

well cleaned out my MAF last night. which was pretty dirty. When I get of duty tomorrow going to pull the ats and cts and see how dirty those are and clean them. hope that does the trick.

Again appreciate all the help.
