[alfa] GTV6 - hard start after sitting in sun

I realize that turning over a "flooded" engine with the throttle wide open
can help dry off the spark plugs; I also know that our beloved V6 motors
have a consistent habit of "popping the plenum" when any throttle is applied
while trying to start (and it's pretty embarrassing!). I hope whatever the
cause of the flooding is remedied soon, and you don't have the imprint of
your plenum on the under hood insulation like I do!

Cheers!
