Have you checked to see if the float has a hole in it allowing fuel to weight it down? Possibly the needle valve is sticking and not the float. Could also be the float needs adjusting. You need to open the carburetor up and see what is going on.

You have your car flooding its a spirit wita 2.5 ltr engine and it has a throttle body carb on it but it just keeps pumping gas into the carb what could cause this prob?

So which is it? Carb or Throttle Body? Throttle body is a single (sometimes 2) electronic fuel injectors mounted in a carburetor LOOKING device that sits on the intake manifold. A flooding throttle body injector system is caused by faulty electrical to the injector or more likely a sticking injector. If the problem isn't too severe yet, use some injector cleaner before you spend a lot of money. If it's a CARBURETOR, you have a sticking needle & seat or a damaged float inside the float bowl. It's a relatively simple job to rebuild the carburetor but if you have never done it before, you might want to just replace your carb with a rebuilt one.
