it could be the fuel injector relay mate, it might be faulty therefore it might not be opening the injector pintle at the right time therefore flooding the engine .....

Sounds like a faulty FBR (have you replaced yours recently as I had loads of issues with a batch from ebay), I remember when my failed, loads of fuel out the back, wouldn't start unless foot was down to the floor and only then would it idle for a few secs at 6000rpm before cutting out.

Just an idea
