Group, If you push down on the air flow meter plate only, you add more fuel via the control plunger going up in the fuel distributor and letting more fuel flow to the injectors but your not adding the air to go with it so the car will flood. That's why you rev with the engine the throttle spindle, then you get air and fuel. Even then if you do it to much to fast you can feed more than the car can handle and also flood out.
