Is the starter providing a consistant crank? Try checking the battery and doing a load test. BTW, why/how did it take 2 hours to get the spark plugs out?

the battery is good i even did a jump from my truck
the spark plugs were a bihatch becaaause i cant get my arm
down into the space inbetween the strut towers and the compressor
i am a big guy
what exactly is deflooding,more importantly how do i do it?


it started and i cut it off to test my dyno mat and later i went to leave and then it cranked and strted to crank in a strange way but never fired.

floor the throttle while starting it. if that doesn't work, pull the leading plugs out (lower) and pull the egi fuse...crank it iver a few times, you'll see fuel misting out of the engine. once it stops misting, put the plugs back in and start the bitch up...
