Be sure the ignition is in good order, and be sure the radiator core isn't loaded with dust, bugs, lint, grass seeds, etc. That stuff can embed deep among the tubes and block a lot of airflow. Dirt dauber nests in the exhaust system can cause issues. A stuck manifold heat valve (Very common issue)can contribute to overheating and flooding. Some cars have tailpipes that are prone to hitting curbs or other obstructions and can be bent in such a way that exhaust flow is restricted. Mufflers can be plugged with mouse nests, acorns, and other odd stuff.
