How did you push start it? Did you leave it in gear with the key on, and floor the gas?

So it starts sometimes but not other times?
How was the car running before? Any recent tune ups?

You could try the Atf trick or starting fluid down the throttle body.

Then maybe I have never had a major flood. This always works for me.
