on any car with an air flow meter ..
they will 'unflood' , eventually, with foot-to-the-floor cranking ..
but there is still somewhat, the affect of the flapper door in the AFM
preventing full throttle air from getting in .

pulling a large air hose out of the air boot, or removing the AFM,
helps a lot to unflood, if that's what's happening.

what does she do with a bit of gas down the throat ?
Vrrromm ! ......??
