Remove fuse for the fuel injectors, located under the hood.
Crank until it you get a nice, fast whirrrrrr sound. At first it will stumble a bit.
Wait about 10 seconds.
Crank and let it spin for a few more seconds.
Reinstall fuse and fire it up.

Should take less than 5 minutes to deflood, if it takes longer you have other issues.
