As far as I know cooling down the engine isn't neccesary or even beneficial to a non-turbo engine. I also dont think it would prevent flooding, unless you just had the car on for a few seconds, in which case you should just keep the car on longer. If your car is routinely flooding, I suggest installing a fuel cut switch and using it to turn off the car.

A turbo timer would cost the same/more than having the injectors professionally cleaned & blueprinted. And that would permanently fix the flooding problems (assuming you have good hot & cold compression).

turbo timer wont fix anything on an NA,

if your flooding its either, leaky injectors or low compression( means high milage motor, getting close to time for a rebiuld!!)

running the engine at idle wont cool it down at all hardly, they call it a "hot start problem" simply because its when the engine is warmed up, not TOO hot....

turbo timers are great for turning heads when the car shuts itself off but as has been said check injectors and compression.
