Your system should be similar. Check out the purge control solenoid
valve. They tend to stick open and flood the system. You could try full
throttle (clear flood mode - reduced fuel delivery at injectors) when
starting and if it starts a shade more easily, then the purge control
solenoid valve or its upstream circuit should be looked at.
