Default Flooding

Morning all, Car has flooded twice now on 1st start, both mornings were cold, my guess is the temp sensor, car starts by holding throttle open then runs lumpy for around 30 secs then all good. Anything else worth checking or shall i just change it?

if the temp sensor is faulty then when cold the rad fan will be running.

Question

I assume you do keep your foot completely clear of the throttle before starting? Even nudging it can lead to flooding..............

Car is MY95, I don't get any cooling fans running, what i'm thinking is because the car floods it's putting in too much fuel, this wouldn't happen if the temp sensor had failed, but maybe the resistance is too high? meaning the ecu thinks it's colder than what it actually is, there for putting in way too much fuel?

Need to check resistance values, car runs fine when cold once started.

Never touch the throttle until i drive off..........unless it's flooded!!
