Stalling and restarting issue - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have a 2012 yaris and have owned 3 months. The car runs fine but I've had one niggly issue which has happened only twice.

My wife stalled the car a few times on the drive one morning due to the high clutch. After stalling on second ocassion the engine would keep turning but car wouldn't start. Had to leave it for 2 mins before starting and then worked.

Another ocassion I started car in morning and got to top of hill on my road and stalled at the junction. The car had only been running 1 minute. I tried restarting and had same issue with engine turning and car not starting. After 1 minute retried and it started fine.

I Heard before that engines can become flooded if you try to restart car too many times in quick succession. Given that this has only occurred when car has immediately been stalled after initial morning start up, does this indicate engine flooding, hence why it starts after waiting 1 minute? Or is there a wider issue?
