ya my car has flooded three times today and i have to get out of my car and do the damn fuse pull. so i think it might be my battery, the cables aren't in the best condition. but i just bought the battery. maybe leaking injectors. or bad fuel pump. im gonna go buy all new plugs wires and battery terminal clamps and clean my injectors with redline stuff. does anyone know how to do that?. i know i put half in my gas tank and then from there i don't know. but any advise on what you think might be my prob would be greatly appieciated.

From what I've read, technon is about the only fuel injector cleaner that works, ands its pretty gradual, I think. You best bet is just pulling them and getting them professionally cleaned. It can be done for 50 plus shipping. Do a compression check, as well, just to be sure. Also, look in to installing the fuel cut switch. Its a lifesaver if your car floods much.

well i cleaned my injectors today and it still does it so im gonna replace my plugs wires and battery cables with brand new ones. the car starts up perfect if i wait in between start ups maybe like 1 hour or so. it just turns over alot before it starts. so im getting shorter/fatter wires and iridium plugs. . maybe my fuel pump is bad? im not sure i might as well get a walbro why im at it. with the rtek. haha

oil in holes, new plugs, it will run unless it's blown or there's a lack of fuel or spark.

BTW a fuel cut switch on an s5 car is useless...the throttle has it built in already. Floor throttle to cut fuel. It is possible to flood an s5 to the point that this will not help much, and the oil is still required.
