   94 Acura Integra flooding

   Problem started a few months ago.   
      
   Starts fine when it's cold.  When it's warm, turned off for ~15 to 39   
   minutes and is still warm, it cranks for a long time as if it's flooded   
   and there's a strong smell of gas -- but no leakage to the ground.  When   
   it finally catches, it runs really slow and you have to be really   
   careful about feeding in more gas for perhaps half a minute.   
      
   Tapping the distributor while cranking resulted in an immediate start   
   once.  So did leaving the gas cap loose a few times.  Sometimes it   
   starts OK when warm, but mostly not.  Replaced the fuel pump, but no   
   change.   
      
   Now he carries a spare battery and jumper cables just in case.  This is   
     maddening.  Any ideas?   
      
   --   
   Cheers, Bev   
       Everyone crashes.  Some get back on.  Some don't.  Some can't.
