per Icemark in the faq sticky: "My car doesn't start
Remember when starting a fuel injected car you should never pump or press the accellerator 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 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."

it would be very benificial for you to read that sticky at the top of the page in the second gen section.

Please read the FAQ for FC sticky thread found at the top of this, the 2nd gen technical section before posting.

Many of the commonly asked questions, (such as the one you started this thread with) are answered there.

Thread closed. Covered in the FAQ for FC sticky thread.
