GSL-SE unflooding using sub-zero-assist line?

Is this possible to do? Use the Sub-Zero assist line to put ATF into the motor? Mine's still there (just bought the car)

You probably could, but if flooding is that much of a problem fixing the issue would work better than covering it up with a band-aid.

no I just don't want to pull the plugs and squirt ATF in, it'd be much easier to do the sub-zero line

Use MMO instead of ATF, does the same thing but without the ill effects of smoking out the lower part of your state. You should find the flooding problem though. Mine had the front rotor injector stuck wide open. I took it out put the air hose on the front applied 9 volt battery juice to her and blew. Now she's tight as a drum.

I don't think it was COMPLETELY warm when I shut it down. I started it up, let it idle for a few minutes, drove out the driveway, down the street, and back, then came back and idled for a few, and shut it back down. The temp gauge was still just on the mark for the C (which means it was warm, but not warm enough).

Biggest thing with SE's is to always warm em up even if you move the car to get your other 7 out of the garage.
