OK, so yesturday i didn't drive my car since i was out with my GF. It snowed. THe dayt before i drive my car and it was running fine. Today I just went to leave to go shopping for some food stuffs and the car won't start. I tried the gas peddle to the floor to cut fule incase its flooded. ( i have a s5 ) but that dind't work. I tried to turn her over but its just killing my battery. The car has been sitting on level ground for only about 30ish hours now. Anyone know what might be causing this, i havn't done anything to the car since i parked it. and all the wires seem to be in place.

THanks,

search for unflooding procedures. if all else fails, pop the clutch

 

I know of 2, the s5 fuel cut way which i tried. And pulling the plugs and fuel fuse and cranking her to clear it out. Just i'm not to good with motors and pulling the plugs is a last resort option that i have no clue how to really do. I wasn't raised in a mechanicle household, if it was broke the mechanic fixed it.

 

It really isn't hard and you could learn something, right? Just need a sparkplug socket and I'm sure you could ask a neighbor to lend you that if you don't have one.

 

yeah, don't have the socket and i don't know my neighbors. I just moved into the house a few weeks ago.
I'm gna see what i can do, lol.

 

so, u never changed the plugs, since you are not mechanically inclined? have u even done anything to it? that could be why its ******* up on you. also you DO NOT need a spark plug socket, you dont even need a ratchet. use an adjustable wrench, and just remember:

--->righty, tighty. lefty<--- loosey.

This also applies to mostly all things in life. for example opening up a coke bottle, you "unscrew" the cap by turning it left.

 

i'm not that mechanicly inclind. Just never worked on cars before. I take good care of her, i havn't done any work to her and i change the oil, no syntho, fuel filter, keep her well maintained until i can meet some local peoploe to help show me some of the ins and outs
thats all.

 

update: it's alive, ALIVE!!

matt's car is now up and running... for the time being. next step: getting the wicked pulse out of his rotors. i smell another learning experince coming on...

 

did u unflood it?

 

yes, it took two days, but we got it unflooded. needless to say, none of the suggested standard procedures worked. but i did a little tinker-thinking (where you tinker while thinking as the word would imply) and came up with the solution. so it runs as has started routinely since. Dr. Wankel smiles on me.

 

so wtf did you do???? i ran into the same problem out at the local race spot... i had to leave the car for a few hours so i could save myself the embarrasment of having it towed

 

disco the secondary injectors (the ones just under and away from the trottlebody) and start with the pedal to the floor. once cranked, get off the gas and let the bastard smoke.

 

before you ask for help learn how to put sentences together kid.. lol
