Flooding issue...please help.

I have an 88 se that has been sitting in my diveway for 2 weeks now. I ran fine when i first got it but started crapping out. If you let it sit too long after driving it it would flood and not start for like 2 hours. then it got worse and you had to let it sit for even longer.Now it doesn't start at all and acts like it floods out every time. WTF?

you may have an engine that is getting a little tired most guys install a fuel pump cut off switch to aide in starting.
how many miles are on your motor? does it smoke?
could be a coolant issue as well

Make a fuel cutoff switch. It's a short time fix, but it'll start each and every time .

Do an Advanced Search. Put the words FUEL CUT SWITCH in one block and put NZCONVERTIBLE in the other block. There will be at least one thread that will give you a detailed method for installing a switch.

SEARCH is at the top of this page. Far right.
