I'm no rotary pro obviously, so I'm just coming here for some feedback before I tear into it tonight.

This morning at 6 a.m. we had a hailstorm and someone moved my car father foward in the garage so they could get most of their car in behind me. No problems then at 6 a.m.
Then when I go out to leave for school at 8 a.m. it turns over but never cranks.
It comes very close to cranking but never quite does, doesn't seem at all like an alternator or battery (both of which are less than 3 months old).

I don't remeber hearing much about it with GSL SEs, but when I was looking for a 2nd gen I remember alot of people saying when you cranked it, and then very soon after shut it off ( i. e. pulling it foward in the garage) then engine would flood alot of times. Is this likely with a SE? I remember there was also a "procedure" to dry out the 2nd gen but I can't quite remember what it was.

Any tips?

Probably flooded. Remove the blue connector on the trailing coil then crank with the gas pedal down. Removing that connector will disable the fuel injection. The car should start for a second and then die. Return the connector and try to start normally. If you have an extra person around, you can have them plug the connector as soon as it fires so you don't have to try to start again.

There is also the standard unflood proceedure as found in the owner's manual. Hold the gas pedal to the floor while crnking the engine over for no more than 10 seconds. Get ready for some serious smoke. May not be a bad idea to get the car out of the garage.

The other method is to remove the spark plugs and turn the engine over which will spill the gas out. Clean plugs with a wire brush and replace. Remember where your plug wires go. Again be ready for lots of smoke.

I pulled the plugs and the blue wire and did that method.

Gas actually poured out of one of the plug holes and vapor went flying everywhere.

Did that a few times, rolled it off, and good as new.
