i don't want to try the de-flooding method to get gas in my oil. I'm sure i didn't flood it.
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!?

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...?!

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?

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.
