Weak battery, weak starter, weak compression are all common culprits.

Personally, I find "leaking injectors" to be the least common cause of flooding.

Yep, low compression or a loose nut behind the wheel would be #1

Check your coolant temp sensor.

i mentioend this in a diff. post but ill state it again

compression check goes differently for rotary motors. if the motor starts right up w/ 1 or 2 cranks, the motor is fine; which suggests the fact that the apex seals are still good. if that is the case, you won't need a compression check.

i've had this flooding problem before also.

solution was new spark plugs, wires, and perhaps coils.

one of the main reasons motor floods is because low voltage passing through the wires from the coils, therefore the injectors are just spraying and wetting the spark plugs faster than they can be fired before getting drenched w/ fuel.

it may not even be your injectors that is the problem.

hey i had a flooding problem in my t2 and when it happens i just go along the stearingrack under the dash. these a fuel relay there and pull of the cover, when u go to shut the car down hold that open that will use the fuel left in the line and will dry out the injectors, took away my flood problem if it does flood out on u crank it over this way.
