So I've had this problem several times where I start up the 850, move it to a different spot in the driveway and then shut it off. The cars been running for maybe 20 seconds. The next time I go to start it, it doesn't want to because it gets flooded. I know how to get the darn thing to start again but its a pain in the butt. What's the deal? This doesn't happen on other newer cars I've had. Is there any fix to this?

Looking at the glass 1/2 full, it helped me buy a '95 850 sedan for much cheaper than the guy had it advertised. He explained what happened and immediately I knew the problem. Of course I didn't tell him, just used it as a bargaining tool.

Any input appreciated.
