Whats Wrong?

2004 High Power, seafoamed 2 weeks ago, very hard starting afterwards, its as if its flooding, lots of white smoke-can smell the fuel.
Vehicle is standard except de-cat and 3inch exhaust system.
Compression test done 2 months ago, borderline on both rotors.
Did not want to start at all, started on Saturday, refs stayed at 500, could not rev at all, flashing engine light and then stayed on.
88000km's, DTC codes Random misfire-300,301,302.
Please advise!!!!

When is the last time u changed your coils/plugs? Changing them to new ones might fix your hard start and misfire issues.

Try changing your coils. Ive gotten like 3 random misfires and it stopped happening as soon as my dealer changed my plugs, coils and cat.

Will this cause excessive overfueling?

It's not overfueling that's the problem, it's your coilpacks not generating spark to burn the fuel that's there...
