Recently (around the same time the temperature dropped to around to the 30's) my car floods everytime. I've adjusted the TPS, compression I believe to be good (I haven't checked with a gauge), and there's no other indication of a problem with it. If left over night it starts without a problem. However if I drive it anywhere I'll need to de-flood it as per pulling the INJ fuse.

I have done some treatments of seafoam recently and it seems to help it. In fact when I went to a bonefire I did a treatment and the car started right up without problem. Coincidence?

I'm curious on what others would suggest on remedying the problem. I am planning on securing new spark plugs as I think (I haven't checked yet) that is the cause of the issues. I suppose another way of asking would be: Would poor spark cause flooding issues, while keeping normal operation once the engine is started?

 

Mine only flooded once before it started to get cold... I bought my 7 in july. And when it started to go below freezing mine floods more often and always starts in the morning.. except once. It is kinda weird. But my motor has bad compression on the rear rotor so i expect it. Good luck.

 

Short answer? Yes.

Also, get it running then pull the codes. That is a tool I have used many times to find faulty/unplugged sensors.

 

low compression maybe or a weak battery?
