After flood fix.

k i got my injectors cleaned right? took 2 weeks. But he said that it takes a couple weeks for it to start normal. Right now it takes about 5-6 seconds to start in the morning. Which is normal, i use to have to use a toggle switch. But like he said to push in like 1/8th of the gas pedel in. Well today started up, but 5 hours after i parked it. I went and start it, it wouldn't go. It was like flooded. So i had to use the toggle switch to start it. When it did start a cloud of white smoke came out of the exhaust. And i'm guessing it's the gas that was flooded in the engine(correct me if i'm wrong). Right now i think the only part that scares me is the amount of money i paid to fix it. Maybe i just need to be patient and see if it will be better in a couple of weeks. But help me out guys if u can.

After cleaning, they should work fine right off. Shouldn't take a couple of weeks.
