I messed up... again. Oil Compression flood procedure botched.
You know how after the car has been flooded really badly you are supposed to inject a bit of oil in the lower spark plug holes?
I did that... and now my car is flooded bad; the oil isn't burning off right.
I mean, I've been able to start it up but whenever it is warm the engine just goes huff huff huff huff like it is going to start but it doesn't really want to.
I think I might just need to change my spark plugs from where they probably are f'd worse now because of the oil being squirted in there. (Weren't too bad from the flood..)
Anyways, any suggestions on what to do to get it to work?
Sort of need it to get me atleast another 300 miles or so.

Clean off all the plugs,pull the EGI fuse( it is on the fuse block in the engine bay) and roll the engine over about 10 seconds without the plugs in.
Then put the plugs in,put the fuse back in and try to start it,(this way it starts FRESH.no excess fuel and no oil or crap to foul plugs).

But wouldn't this negate the effects of putting oil in there to build back up the film ? From what I understood after severe flooding it helps to squirt about a tsp or more of oil to build it back up because the excess fuel eats away some of it. Would I have to re-squirt a little bit of oil in each hole since I put too much oil in it the first time and caused it to "flood". (I used a oil pump and accidently squirted too much. XD.
I have brand new spark plugs that I'm going to put on it anyways before I go on this trip so I'll just go ahead and do it tmrw morning.

Well If you got Oil in there already it is gonna coat the housing,since it is not being Burned by merely turning the engine over.
I am just saying that you want to get as much **** of of that housing so the spark will ignite Fuel.It is ok to have a Bit of oil in there but Too much will foul the plugs..(so new plugs will help immensely).
Starting the engine off with "nothing" is ..quote/unquote,'My Way' of getting the engine to React the way it should.Taking fuel from the injectors and spraying to get ignited without having excessive fuel and oil from a flooding in there will just make the Engine work harder to start.and most likely you would have to deflood it again.
."my way"the engine starts off and takes what it needs.If the engine is properly setup/tuned it will fire right up on about 4-6 turns of the engine..
I had alot of engines flood in my 5 years,so what the heck!..amuse me,Try it..it won't hurt!

I know how to unflood it that isn't the problem. Thanks anyways
Owning a car with blown seals for 15kish miles will teach you these things.
Okay, I get what you are saying. I'll do this first thing tmrw morning, and most likely let you know if the oil had re-covered it. I was just curious if I doing it like this again would cause me to need to re-squirt oil. The way my fc runs with the blown seals I have to turn my fuel pump off and crank the car after I shut it off or else it is flooded in the morning. Other than this it still flys through the gears.
