starving for gas and flooding are two opposite problems so the first thing to do would be figure out which it is. if it is starving for fuel then the fuel filter could be clogged or the fuel injectors may be dirty. if it's flooding then the fuel injectors may be stuck open or the spark plugs not getting healthy spark.
