VA Running rough after deflooding help please

ok first of all hello and thanks in advance to any good advice given. I recently let my daughter drive my 2004 a/t rx8, what a mistake, anyway she flooded it so I got on here and followed deflooding procedure and started but ran a little rough, so I figured it was almost time to due tune up so I went ahead and put coils, plugs and wires on. it still idles rough but in 1st through 3rd gear runs great, however when it shifts to fourth it will not accelerate past 64 mph and feels like im towing am 18 wheeler. I rechecked coils plugs and wire all good there I looked to see if catalytic converter was glowing and it was not. only other odd thing to me is it seems to be running very rich I smell a lot of fuel while sitting at an idle. again I really appreciate any advice

thanks
