If you search the archives on "Lawnmower Syndrome" you will
also find similar problems. By any chance did you start it
for a few seconds (as though mvong the car to get the lawnmower
out) and then turn it off? That can lead to a similar problem.
Paul listed all the common things to do to help. I'd also
consider changing the oil since quite a bit of fuel may have
washed down the cylinder walls into the engine.
By the way once it floods it is very hard to start since the
extra fuel keeps the piston rings from sealing (so no
compression).
Our 95 has seen the problem twice. My S70, never (but it is
frequently run to high engine RPM which helps the valves to
rotate in their seats, reducing carbon build-up).
