Help with a Seat Cordoba

Can any one help me. I have recently arrived in Brunei and bought a Seat cordoba '95 but it has electric fuel injection and when it starts, particularly after it is warm refuses to start and has a heavy smell of petrol. So i guess it is flooding. once started it chokes out smoke from the fuel then clears itself. I took it to a mechanic here and I think he is unsure. He has pulled out the electric circuit unit saying this is causing the flooding problem. Can some one advise me on what it could be?
thanks
