Default Is this the "Mystery No Start"?

I have read through most of the "Mystery No Start" and "Relay Control Module" posts, but can't find anything that matches my conditions exactly.

I have an 04 Limited Auto with 22K miles.

On Friday I drove 80 miles. Saturday I started the car to move it out of the drive way to let another car out, ran 30 seconds. Sunday I tried to start it, it cranked but only got a few random single cylinder fires. I tried this four times, crank and sputter each time. Waited five minutes and tried again. On the third time at the first sputter I step on the gas pedal, maybe 25% and it started roughly. Blew out some blue smoke indicating unburnt fuel.

Since then no problems, started perfectly 20 times.

At first I thought there was no fuel, fuel pump relay?, but the blue smoke out the tail pipe makes me think it was flooded.

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Kurt
