car dies and floods in morning only?

hey, so when i try to start my car in the morning it always floods. i guess the seals on the injectors? anyways, i was thinking would pulling the EGI fuse out and cranking it for 20 secs, and putting in the fuse, then start it like normal?
when i try to start the car in the morning, it goes to 1k, then dies right away.

think this method would work?

sounds like a vacuum leak if your car dies immediately like that... a pretty big one. Can you hold the throttle at all to keep it running? If so, will it hold an idle when warmed up a little?

i think i figured it out, i think the engine floods because of leaky injectors. i tried the throttle method but it just died instantly.

its weird, when i have my accelerated warm up thing work, there is a vac leak.

sometimes the accelerated warm up DOESNT work, and I DONT have a vac leak?


where should I start to look for the prob?

I had a similar problem. The AWS had stopped working, and the idle would surge from 1500-1600. At first it was intermittent, then constant.

I did a bunch of tests, and eventually wound up replacing my TPS with one from a junkyard. Been working well.

Good luck,
James
