Flooding!! Pls help!!
okay so i have an 86 n/a. no extras or anything on it completely stock. and it seems to be flooding allll the time. especially in the mornings. i have to do the fuse pull thing sometimes 5-10 times while jumping the battery. and when i do get it started it smokes white smoke pretty badly. but there are sometimes when i only have to fuse pull once and then it starts up completely clean after with no smoke. so idk if it was flooded or something else. it especially seems to not start in the mornings when its cold out. i would really really like to know how to fix the flooding problem. one thing i wanna do whether i fix the flooding or not is fix up a switch to the cabin that cuts off the fuel pump so i can just switch it off and let the engine run itself out of gas so it wont flood. how would i go about doing this and what exactly would i need to do this? anything you guys have would help me greatly. thanks

Check your Water temp sensor on the back of the waterpump to see if it is hooked up.If that part goes "wonky; then it can cause flooding.
But honestly I think your injectors should be serviced.Dirty injectors is the main cause of Flooding/no start...That and Low compression.
I'd tell you where I put a Fuel kill on my car but I alot of People wouldn't say it's not the best solution...But hey,it works every time and I don't look like an **** popping the hood and pulling fuses!.I'm just one Dumb Wankel!

Okay but if it was the Injectors the engine would be flooded with gas. So when I got the car started wouldn't it smoke black? Not white? Idk this is just what I've been told by a few people. But imma get my injectors cleaned and whatnot to see if that helps. And I'm puttin in a cutoff switch too just because. I guess we will see what happens. My car is just a piece of trash. So much is wrong with that thing it's ridiculous. But thanks for the advice!
