By having your foot to the floor before key on and while cranking, you are in 'clear-flood' mode and it will stop dumping fuel into cylinders.

The 14 years I had my Saturn, it flooded on me 3 different times. I have started many FI engines this way in the fleet I maintained. It usually will happen more in cold weather. Just a fluke in the ECM I guess.
Definitely worth trying... hadn't thought of that, thanks for the suggestion.
