Flooding everytime

Just started about last weekend. Everytime i start my car she floods. Lucky me i have a cut off switch installed inside my car. there are two things that i think it might me.
1.) the temperature dropped quickly at about that time, to like 40 and below. Could that effect it?
2.) At the same time i had just put in a bottle of fuel injector cleaner. i just finished that tank and put new gas in this week. but it's still doing it

This is really getting annoying! and using a lot of gas. what do you think? Is there anything i can do to make it stop?

thanks,
-Jessica :ange:

If it's fuel injector blead, then new fuel injectors is the 100% way to make it stop.

I'm assuming after letting it sit for several hours, this doesn't happen?

Pull your injectors and send them to RC Engineering to be cleaned. I think it cost around $25 each. Well worth it!

Ok this might be stupid...But every time my car floods, I just stick one foot out push it a little bit, throw it in 2nd gear and let the clutch out. And it starts automatically.
