How are you certain that you didnt, these cars just flood out of nowhere sometimes especially if you live somwhere cold, y dont you just try deflooding it its not like its going to hurt you 40sec procedure what do you loose!?

 

Hey! Long time no see!!!! How's it goin?



Anyways, I'm gonna pull the EGI on mine today and HOPEFULLY get my **** to start.

 

wouldnt starting fluid work like a champ?? hold throttle to the floor and have a buddy spray a small amount down your intake while you crank on it.. make sure to hold throttle down 2 floor! ( im not sure if this will work)

 

EGI fuse under the hood, change spark plugs, make sure the afm plunger is all the way in. etc etc.

 

I tried that already actually. No such luck.

 

damn sorry lol o well

 

thats my first step in trubble shooting anything that doesnt start for me hahaha good luck!

 

ok.. guys i'm back.
Today i went to start up the car and it cranked over just fine.
so... I'm thinking its not electircal? or engine problems ( even though there is a new engine with 6500 mil)
so... do you guys think its flooding due to bad clogged injector OR
bad starter?

thnx for help

 

p.s.
I've read when you try the deflooding method that gas gets inside the oil
and therefore having to do a oil change right away...?!

 

Its a leaking injector.....

 

Gas gets in your oil when it floods not when you try to deflood it. How else would you get the car to run if it was flooded without doing the deflood trick? Break the engine down and clean it?

 

Never call that mechanic again, hes quite obviously a dishonest one who wants to steal your money.. dude its flooded thats what it means when your plugs reek of gas.

 

ok.. so..
1.it seems that i have to take the ingectors to be cleaned.. how much is that gonna cost?
2. how would i go about doing the fuel pump relay/switch?

thanx

 

its easier to wire a fuel pump cut off switch. hide it in the ash tray or something. it can serve as a good anti theft device too. if theres no fuel it wont start. makes sense to me. unless they drag it onto a trailer...

when mine floods (rare) i unplug the fuel pump plug under the rear hatch carpet (blue wire coming out of big metal plate on driver side) Crank it with the gas pedal pushed down until it starts then when it dies (on its own) try to restart it. if it wont start plug the fuel pump back in and it should start just fine.

a little tip... if its a sticky injector dont shut the car off unless its fully warmed up.

 

also its not blown. if one apex seal breaks loose it scrapes up the entire housing and rotor. usually unseating the other 2 seals or at least "decapitating" them or cracking them rendering the rotor dead and running of the other rotor at half power. youll be lucky to reach 70mph on a blown apex seal motor.
