Common hot start problem. Dirty injectors combined with the rich start map tend to be the cause. There are many threads covering this subject. If injector cleaning doesn't fix it, a fuel cut switch may become necessary. For the time being, the standard flooding clearing procedure is to pull the 40A EGI COMP fuse, crank the engine over, replace the fuse and start it.

You can always do a hot/cold compression check to make sure you don't have a blown motor.

Did you read what RotaryRocket said? You have the "hot start" problem. Send your injectors to witchhunter, have them cleaned and go from there.

Also, you do not need to pull the fuse to clear a flooded engine for your series car. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. This tells the ECU to stop adding fuel to the engine and allows you to "dry" crank it. Do this for a couple of seconds, pause, a couple more seconds. Release the pedal and try to start it normally.
