Going out on a huge, huge limb here, but have you check that your injector seals are good?

Does it start when it cools down? If it does, then it's probably your engine temp sensor. The one with the two prongs, not the single prong one.

If those seals are leaking when you turn off the car they will keep leaking untill the pressure is gone. Then when you go to start you have flooded the engine and you still pumping a ton of gas into it.

Just unbolt the fuel rail and put the ignition to run and see what happens. Best to have two people so that someone can turn it back off. If it's leaking a lot of gas through that might be the problem.
