Default Gas flooded engine

During a paint job they somehow flooded the car trying to start it, I replaced a deffective coil but now the engine is full of gas. Before trying to replace the plugs I asked for an oil change and noticed that the it would no stop draining gas and it was coming out of the tailpipe and even from a hose attached to a canister. I found that the mechanic left the ignition switch open during the oil change. How long should we wait before trying to start the car?..and what should we replace before replacing the engine computer as they had sudgested? Please help!

Seeing as its a single cam I would say those mechanics were doing you a favor I would just drop it in the junk yard and find yourself a tt, youll thank me bro, youll thank me.

gas will dry if there is some airflow. If it flooded in the first place with gas something must've been wrong with injectors, because they are not supposed to start giving fuel until computer tells so
