[DML] Starting Problem

So I let my car sit for 3 weeks and my reward is a dead battery. I
was able to jump the battery and get the car started, but the engine
is severely stumbling/sputtering. It sounds like it's not firing
correctly. It takes about 20 seconds of cranking to start, then
blows a blueish smoke (for 5 mins or so). It also won't idle on
it's own. If I stop giving it gas, it stalls. The battery was a
few years old, so I replaced it. The car fires right up with the
new battery, but it's still running as described above.
In November PJ Grady did extensive work on my car (new lines,
injector hoses, fuel filter, a couple new injectors & some cleaned,
new fuel distributor, new plugs...etc, etc,etc). The car was
running fantastic. I mention this because it was starting and
running great before I let it sit. I can't imagine anything needs
replacing. I'm guessing I flooded the system with gas trying to
start it excessively. If I'm correct, how do I go about solutioning
this?
Thanks,
Glenn
