Remember when starting a fuel injected car you should never pump or press the accelerator pedal, but if it won't start it is probably flooded, Hold the accelerator pedal all the way down while cranking, do not pump the pedal. If it still doesn't start after a few tries, Then remove the EGI fuse and crank a couple more times, then re-install the fuse and try starting again. If then the car still fails to start it then you need to remove and clean the spark plugs, put in a teaspoon of good quality 20W50 motor oil or a teaspoon of ATF into the lower sparkplug holes, re-install the spark plugs and try again. Make sure you change your oil after you have started and run the car ASAP.


I read that but.. Where is the EGI Fuse?


Also.. I don't know if its flooded but my spark plug is hella wet and everything underneath it is wet.. Is it flooded or is it something else?

 

Look under your hood...lower right side ....FUSE BOX....READ FUSES....take out the EGI COMP. one.

 

Okay nvm found out my engine won't even turn over..


I turn the ignition, nothing is moving. The belt is stationary.. It just makes a vaccum-like sound. Anyone help me with this?

 

check Starter.

 

my car is more difficult to start in the winter for this reason

 

check voltage...check starter
take spark plugs out...pour in atf...and let it sit...
should desolve some buildup...
dry crank then connect egi **** and start

 

Whats an ATF?

Whats dry crank?

Sorry I'm not good with cars.

 

i'm not really good with cars either.. but i've definitly checked everything he listed. i've also replaced the starter, and altenator and battary this past winter. but it still floods from time to time. There isn't really a permamant fix to this problem, but making sure that you at lest drive it two days a week will lessin the amount of times it floods. and if it does flood all you need to do is pull the injectore fuse and turn it over for about 20-30 second and then put it back in and turn it over again and it should start!!
