My car just got flooded last friday, then i posted here and got some tips on the deflooding procedure and i was able to fix it. It ran fine for two days, then it got flooded again. I just changed the spark plugs before last Friday, but i doubt it's the problem. Can anyone please give me some suggestion on what could cause frequent flooding? thanks

Leaky injectors, perhaps. Running it for short periods of time will promote flooding as well.

i was thinking it might be a leaky injector but just not sure, and i usually don't shut off the engine until it comes to the right temp. I will try to take a look at the injectors. Is there any other possibility?

your engine seals could be going bad (losing compression)

it could also be leaking coolant into the housing and flooding that way.

ok, about the engine seal, i will give it a compression test after i get it running. so how would i test if there is leaking coolant into the housing? thanks
