Why does my gsl-se keep flooding?

So i go into the mall, enjoy playing some envigorating rounds of DDR w/ my buds, then come back out to my hot ride to go home.

But it doesnt start, cause its flooded. This is the 3rd time this has happened, why does it flood? What are causes of flooding?

Maybe you have some leaking injectors?

The fuel injectors must be leaking . They tend to do that after time. If that's the case you will have to send them out to be blueprinted or get newer ones.

Not sure what the actual problem is, but I can offer a "until you get it fixed solution." When your car floods out just pull the fuse for the injectors, crank for a few seconds and replace the fure and vwala. Some people wire up a switch for their injectors because of that problem.
