Running regular gas has no bearing on if it's flooding or not. You probably have bad compression or something wrong with your emissions.

He is correct that has somthing to do with your injectors or you didnt take it up to 2k-3k when you shut it off thats why

That would be a pure waste of money. Through 200K miles my 2nd gen has run just fine on the lowest octain fuel I could fine.

Only for thinking octane has anything to do with flooding.

The two main causes are leaking injectors and/or low compression. Fuel type has nothing to do with it.

Yep, two chronic myths here.

1st myth that higher octane fuel is better for N/A's

2nd myth that 10w-40 oil is bad for a rotary engine.
