Problem solved -- flooded. Could this be my problem? 850

I read this thread with interest because today I was driving my '95 850 Turbo Wagon and it died while I was driving it. I thought I had run out of gas as that's how it acted. I put some gas in it about 30 minutes later, started it fine and drove it back to work. Came out of work and it drove fine for about 2 miles (city driving), and it died again. I let it sit for about 5 minutes, started it and made it almost home before it died, waited 5 minutes again, limped to gas station, filled it up and it died about a block away from home.

I walked home and read this thread. Hoping that it could just be flooded, I tried the above trick of removing the fuse(which was OK), cranking it, replacing fuse, etc. It started fine and drove the last block home fine but I'm afraid to drive it any distance now for fear it is just the "5 minute rest" theory from above. What do you think?

I'm obviously not a car guy - any ideas appreciated.

Thanks!
