Make yourself a fuel cut off switch, they're should be a thread on this forum somewhere on how to rig one up, it works very well and will prevent flooding from happening. I use one myself and its worked like a charm.

replacing the stock ECU with either a chipped Rtek ECU or a standalone system allows you to control the amount of fuel delivered during cranking. My car has not flooded since I got it running on a standalone. I can even start it up, move it in the driveway for 30 seconds, and cut it off without flooding.

What they said - first off put a switch on the fuel pump relay... when getting ready to turn the car off you flip the switch & let it die by itself... this runs the pressure out of the system & no more flooding EVER!!! When you go to start it wait till the motor starts to turn the flip the switch to the on position & the car will start. The real solution is to have all four of your injectors professionally cleaned & run a quality fuel with cleaning agents in them such as techron or to periodically put some injector cleaner in with your fuel.

The "switch" solution is just a band aid, not a cure.
You need to determine WHY the car is flooding, and then fix that problem. It could be just one or more leaking injectors. Easy and fairly inexpensive fix. Or, it could be low compression, in that case it's rebuild time.
Installing a fuel cut off switch for leaking injectors is not very smart, on the other hand, if you have low compression and want to squeak a few more miles out of the car it could make some sense.
