I almost had my car die tonight. I shut it down earlier this afternoon a bit too early and knew the chances of flood were there.
Tonight at minus 12 is crank quite a bit, but using what I learned from this forum I did not back off letting it crank. After about 6 cranks it fired in a rough choking fury.
All is good now.

yes keep cranking. but stop for a few seconds then put your foot to the floor which stops fuel from being injected i know its a bit counter intuitive, but keep cranking it may sound like its about to start stay calm and keep your foot to the floor till it stops sputtering and is just turning over should take about 30 seconds. then wait another 30seconds to let the starter cool. then try to restart as usual should take a bit longer to start put not too long.
