hey guys whats up today i went and picked up my gxl, 500 dollars, everythings in good condition, the engine has 110, 000 on it but wont run.heres the deal i know it has spark i checked that, and it has 3/4 tank full of gas, do you guys think the rotor housings are shot? it overheated, and never ran again, it cranks over and sounds like it sputtering......thanx alot.

 

Could be flooded.. I remember my old GXL used to do that a lot mainly because it's injectors were dirty... It would crank over, but would never start until I pulled a fuse ( not sure which one ) and cranked it a few times to get some oil into the system and then put the fuse back in and try to start it.. Might work might not...

 

Pull EGI fuse under hood on driver side strut tower in the little fuse box. After that, crank her over for like 10 seconds or so. Replace fuse. Try to start again. If all else fails put a bit of engine oil in the spark plug holes and hand crank engine over to get oil all over inside, then start car, or try to. Good Luck

 

In a 89+, you don't even have to get out of the car to unflood it, just hold the gas pedal to the floor and it does the same thing. Your best bet would to stick a tiny ammount of oil into each chamber, new plugs, and then have someone try to push start you.

 

dont have to get out in an S4 either, i tried it, and it works...

 

If it overheated, the seals are probably shot.

A: Check ratiator fluid. If full go to C.
B: Fill as needed.
C: Have someone crank the engine and watch for bubble inside of the radiator fill cap.

 

yea im gonna run some tests tomrrow....the water seal test...it sounds like it pops but it wont go.....the starter sounds like a damn turbo...im a first gen guy and they sound way different.....
