Color of Spark??
Lately My car has been flooding every time I try to start it..So I was checking the spark and wtf? they are ORANGE!
Aren't they suppose to be blue sparks instead of orange?
what color is your spark???

how old are you plugs? if your car has flooded a couple times replace them. if you have really dirty plugs from flooding the car the spark will be so weak the car won't even start.

They are new..I put them in like less than 1 week ago..
But it has been flooding so I guess that means they are bad..
Man..I already went through 3 sets of plugs in 1000 miles
This really sucks...No matter what I do my car floods..I rebuilt all my injectors, fuel kill switch, new spark plugs and wires but nothing seems to help it....

when you get new plugs check the color again and see if it's better. if not it might be your coils. are both the leading and trailing plugs weak? or did you only check one?
have you done a compression test? your engine might be weak if it keeps flooding. unless you do have a spark problem.
