Pull spark plugs

Pull EGI fuse

Crank over

Clean off plugs with wire brush if they look bad, add alittle ATF fluid or Oil in each top plug hole, replace fuse and plugs and she should fire up.

If doesn't start then could be your fuel filter or fuel pump sock got dirty when it ran out of gas I think.

Sounds like my car when it was badly flooded and had bad plugs, if they don't look good replace them asap, mine would "flood" every time I tried to fire her up.

Egi fuse is on/next to the drivers shock tower in the engine bay

a teaspoon is plenty

and whatever oil you run in your engine. if you have it laying around, I use two stroke

There is only one and its in the main fuse box in the engine bay. Pull it out crank it a couple times (this disables the fuel pump) and put it back in and crank it over a couple times. If it's flooded pull out plugs and get rid of excess fuel, then clean the plugs or put in new ones. As for the oil once you have got the plugs done put in about a teaspoon of 20w30 or Atf in the LOWER spark plugs holes then try starting it (with plugs in of course)

Thanks for everything guys i got it started but the only thing i didnt do was put oil in the spark plug holes, but it fired up and runs good now
so i was just wondering what is the purpose of the oil??

It helps build temporary compression, mostly needed with older engines at times.

ok but since it started and runs now it should be fine that i didnt use it right??

yep your fine now that its started, anytime you can smell gas coming out the exhaust you've flooded the car
