Hard to start flooding out

Many possible problems. If you are sure it is flooding, leaky fuel injector(s) or bad fuel pressure regulator are likely. Connect a pressure gauge to fuel line and check pressure with key on, engine off, and then while running. Other possibles are bad EGR, IAC, coolant temp sensor, O2 sensor, plugged CAT or muffler.

56 reg passat driving down motorway suddenly loss

code p 2099 refers to post cat converter fuel trim (FT) bank 2---too rich===causes--- cat converter
also refers to engine coolant temp (ECT) sensor---circuit malfunction===causes wiring ---ECT sensor
It is possible that th engine is flooding either from problem injectors, excessive fuel pressure or the ECT is reporting incorrectly so the ECM is adding fuel as if the engine is cold starting
It is hard to decipher the rest about oil something or other so get an accredited service shop to install an mechanical oil gauge to check the pressures

Will start, but floods out and won't run

wow, great post, (no location stated sadly,you in Nunavut?)
floods, a clear hard piece of evidence. bravo, and helps...
fuel soaked spark plugs.
if tuned up and , compression is 150,psi not 90 x4.
and spark is strong, then and only then is it a fueling problem.

ill assume you read the op guide and used the unflood method/
stated in glove box manual?
no, then use WOT TO START THE ENGINES.
wot, wide open throttle, (yes, right foot to floor)
this act cuts all fuel injections. and must start
if not , no spark.
if the egr is leaking , it will be hard to start, do the 50k service on it.
if the ISC is stuck closed, it will be hard to start and flood (no air)
so use just 10% throttle , acting as sort of a human ISC
start now?
that is just the tip of ice berg.
here is more flooding.
all ways, i think are here

1997 ford contour

hold pedal to floor and it tries to start ! Not sure if your vehicle has clear flood mode , Most vehicle have clear flood mode strategy programmed in the ECU , PCM ,ECM .when you hold the accelerator pedal to the floor the engine computer cuts down on the injector on time to clear a flooded engine .
Fuel pressure regulator problem ,maybe ! You say there was a blown fuel pump fuse an you replaced it ? Fuse's don't blow for no reason ? Fuel pump bad , short , too much current !
Disconnect the mass air flow sensor an see if it starts !

Fuel pump seems to be working, new fuel filter..but the truck will not turn over or start...while trying this you can flood it...what's up? oh but if you spray a spot of ether into it (yes i know, not...

I'n not sure what engine you have in this but some of these needed 60 + psi of fuel pressure to start when the engine was cool or cold. If it had only 59 psi they would crank and crank but never fire and run however they would get just enough fuel to act sort of flooded for a few seconds once they did start. A bit of external fuel and Bingo, they would start and run all day...until they sat for several hours again then the whole process was repeated. I would start by verifying your fuel pressure and go from there. If you find less than 60 psi when cranking then you most likely have a fuel pump that's just a bit weak. OEM pumps work best on this one if you ever have to replace it.

Engine misfire code multiple cylinders, starts

The first thing to check is the fuel pressure regulator. It is a round device on the fuel rail with a vaccuum line on it. With the motor running pull the vac line and see if fule comes out, it should not. Map sensors can cause this but will almost always set a code. If I can help let me know. Good Luck
