This, work through the threads and read for a day. There are many different problems that can cause it. My car suddenly acted like it was haunted or had multiple personalities. One time it was the coil, one other time it was ultimately the two sensors on the flywheel.
It is pretty hard to flood a Carrera. The injectors only fire if the DME computer thinks the engine is running.
You issue can be anything from a fuel pump check valve to a DME realy to the bad solder joint on the DME itself. You need to test the parts one at a time.
If you are a PCA member or have a friend in the area with a good running Carrera put your DME into his car and see it it runs OK. It is more dangerous to put his good DME into your car as it could damage his DME.
With every bad running or no start issue, replace the DME relay first. And don't get the cheap URO branded one, get the expensive German or Austrian made one. Or better yet, get the one made by a fellow Pelican that is solid state.
