yea the 2nd gen have a problem with the fuel computer. if you shut the car off with out letting it warm up to normal opperating temp the computer will flood the engine. there's a special procedure for unflooding. just search for "flooded engine" or something like that.

i had an 88 rx7 it did that to.one more problem might be leaky injectors. I put a toggle on the fuel pump and i didn't have any more problems. Before that i had to push start it and that sucked.I'm not saying thats the problem but you could look into it.
