Alrighty, well i just bought this car from a guy who said it rain "perfect." but we all know how that goes. anyways the car floods and ive read the sticky and removed the egi fuse. when i take it out it starts to make a noise that sounds like a fan or something. i figured it was doing something with the fuel so i let it do that for a while and then i plugged that fuse back in. it still wont start. it sounds like it wants to at first but then it just wont. im going to get new spark plugs like the sticky said and see if that works. So what makes these engines flood anyways? are injectors leaking???

Thanks

 

Did you crank it with the EGI fuse out? You need to do that.

 

yea i cranked it for like 10 seconds and its just the same. its been doing this for a couple days now and when it does start(after the battery dies and i have to get a jump start) a lot of greyish/white smoke comes off.

 

Good deal.... flooding sucks. Might want to throw some 2cycle oil in the housings through the plug holes (don't use ATF quite yet.)... 2cycle oil will increase your compression and should aid the un-flooding process.

 

alrighty will do. im gonna run and order some spark plugs and get some oil. ill post back with results.
Thanks

 

i had the same problem, what i did was ran a switch to the hot wire on the starter and battery. when it floods, i just turn the key off and hit the swich, turning it over for a little bit without injecting any fuel. then get in, crank the key, works awesome for me
