Help needed

hey guys, I bought a soarer with a 1jz its out of town so i have to drive far to pick it up, now the guy says the engine is flooded because he parked it for a long time and it was under freezing weather and he kept trying to turn it on while giving it gas therefore flooding the engine....so basically my question is, what tips can you guys give me to turn on the car?? I need to know before i head out there. Thanks in advanced.

Fuel Injected cars don't flood unless there are other issues, so bring lots of tools.

This worked for me before, My engine was not cranking at all and no starter or anything. I opened up the engine fuse and relay box and Pulled the EFI relay and then put it back and VROOOM
