Help running rich

I have a 2004 rx8 with 93k on it the problem i am having is it smells really rich when running even when warmed up to normal operating temp it feels like its gets flooded if i shut it off even after warmed up because if i try to start it cranks but doesnt start if i go through deflooding procedure 3 times it starts up anyone kno whats going on im suspecting leaking fuel injectors ?

Have you replaced the coils, wires, and plugs?
Are you still running on the original factory Cat-converter?
Lastly, how old are you starter and battery?

Okay so i bought this car like this and i replaced coils cause it had a miss thought it also caused it to run rich too it killed the miss fire i put new plugs coils wires but still ran rich so i suspected it being the injectors cause it wouldnt start after i shut it off warm and smelled super rich after i hold revs at 3 k shut off starts ok but happy to say i was right i pulled injectors out tonight swapped them with my bros from his engine he had laying around started up perfectly and because of all tht running rich looks like i need a new cat and about the starter im thinking of upgrading i heard of 2004 s having tht slow crank issue but now when i shut it off hot started up perfectly no hesitation
