If your engine floods from leaky injectors, or for what ever reason, floor the hold the gas pedal to the floor and try to start the car. Holding the pedal kills the signal to the injectors.

Only works on S5's. When ever the ECU sees WOT and START signals it stops injecting fuel.

Yeah the reason it works on S4's is purely mechanical though.. just more air flow and the same ammount of fuel, mine has never been flooded badly enough for this method not to work.
