FAQ Flooded engines
Since I was unable to find a thread that directly disccused this...
1. What will cause the engine to flood?
2. How can I avoid this?
3. Oh Noes! my engine is flooded, is there anything I can do to deflood it?
4. Are there any mods to help prevent this problem?

This is all you need to know.
Do not shut off a cold engine and let anyone that has access to the car know that also.
That has worked so far during my 78,000 flood free miles

My seller called me frantically a couple hours after I picked it up. He was like, "I would've been up all night worried if I hadn't called you!"
If you "DOH!" and flood it, push the gas pedal to the floor and try repeated cranks of the key lasting about 10-15 seconds for a couple minutes and see if it starts. If it does, thank your lucky stars and get it nice and hot before shutting it down again.
