flooding problem?

My '94 ranger 4 banger normally runs like a top, but on occasion when I start up, I manage to stall it, then it will not restart for a couple of hours. Turns over just fine, just acts like its flooded, and not sparking at all. Just had a complete tune-up and recent timing belt replacement. Seems to have less power lately, also. I might also add that I am as much of a mechanic as I am a brain surgeon.

is it a fuel injected, or a carburated engine?

flooding?

Hey folks, thanks for the replies! Yes, it is fuel injected. I don't think it's an actual "flooding" situation, but that is the closest symtom I can compare it to.
