Yep, its called the search button.


Start with 'hot flooding'.

This has been covered many times before. Its very likely the answer is in the FAQ or archives.

Have you confirmed that it's flooded by removing the leading plugs and examining? If they're wet with fuel-oil mixture it's flooded, if not you have another problem, perhaps like low engine compression.

If it is, indeed, flooding only when the engine is hot, I would suspect a leaking injector. Pull the injectors and have them cleaned and tested. Or you can take a ghetto bandaid approach by installing a fuel cutoff.
