yaris was flooded this morning....wouldn't start

yesterday I got in my car just to move it about 20 feet. this morning I went to start it and it wouldn't start. it cranked over, just wouldn't fire. this happened a few years ago with my Nissan truck, so I remembered what to do. press and hold the gas pedal down while trying to start it. I think this kills the gas and it sputtered and sputtered, but finally started up.

I don't think you can flood a modern car. Perhaps the condensation froze the gas line as you just start it and shut it off right away.

happened to my Civic a few years back.. took it out of the garage and park it on the drive way.. It wouldn't start until temps got warmer.

if you start it up and only move it a few feet then shut it off fast, the extra fuel from startup stays in there and can flood it at next startup...at least that's what I think happened.
