engine flooding?

astra h keeps on flooding when starting . supposing you turn the key once or even twice without pumping the accelerator the engine floods and you are stuck. only way to get car going again is by either pushing or a tow. most inconvenient .any tips / ideas ?

Very unusual for a modern car to flood, I suggest you get the ECU coolant temperature sensor tested, either by checking the cold and hot resistance or checking the live data using diagnostics.
