Worth giving it a shot next time it does it... if it does it again. It could be a long while.

If it doesn't have flood control, you'll rev the piss out of a freshly started engine, not a good idea.

I can confirm the car does have flood control. Floor the throttle, push the button, car cranks over until the gas pedal is released. Then she fires up!
