does anybody live locally, like orange county ish, and want to come take a look at my car?

i didn't even do anything to it, went to start it today, and it cranks, but doesn't start, sounds like it isn't igniting right.

can anybody help me???

Probably flooded, what year is she?

btw if you want to have a rotor head gay orgie just post saying you'll give them beer, you'll have about 20 guys at your pad in no time

 

91 S5 sorry

 

Are your plugs decent? Push the pedal all the way down to the floor and crank her, if she doesn't fire up a bit your plugs might be very fouled up or there may be another problem.

S5's disable the fuel injection when you hold the pedal down on start ups to ease flooding

best of luck

 

alright, i checked the plugs, super black, and one was barely wet... obviously smelled like gas but i don't know what it was. should i just go find new plugs?

 

take a wire brush to them, if you have alittle gas laying around I've used that to clean them, dont need much you know just push alittle in a container to keep the plugs moist, seems to get the muck off.

You should replace them but do this, then try to fire her up with the pedal thing, if works then you just had fouled plugs =D

I'd suggest to get new ones if she still has alil trouble starting even with the pedal trick, happened to me like that

 

alright, will do, thank you thank you!!

 

While you have the plugs out, pull the Fuel Injection Relay, with the pedal to the floor crank the car for 10 seconds to clear the chambers of any fuel that has puddled in the bottom. Reinstall relay and plugs and try to start. Good luck.

 

also, thank you

 

well the idiot before me put in a full set of trailing plugs, either way, got them all changed out, thank you guys for the help, and mods, please close
