2.3L ('83-'97) Clear flooded engine test, strange result

[Chapap]

I did the test. Had the wife crank and I held wot under the hood to make sure it was truly wot. It cranked with zero firing for two seconds (the desired result). But after that it sputtered to life and behaves like an engine at wot. What’s this mean?

It definitely did something, cause it seemed like it took double the time to start compared to normal.
