Oil & coolant change..now car won't start ...
 
Just changed my old nasty oil w/ 20w50 Castrol GTX, and also flushed out my coolant and put in a bottle of Zerex Super flush w/ water. Now the fucking car won't start....at all, it's cranking and sounds like it wants to go but...nope. Need help fast ! This car was starting and running perfect 10 min before the stuff i did.....

smell gas?

Smelled tons of gas, the god damn thing was flooded, it's outside running as we speak. that's my 1st encounter w/ flooding, haven't had the car long. Just did plugs, wires, oil filter, air filter, coolant, clutch, flywheel, full exhaust, lower rad hose,....etc all in the past few days, & the thing wouldn't start after an oil change...i was pissed but, hey, now i know how to unflood...

if you crank the car up and don't let it fully warm up it will flood alot of times. check your oil and plugs again also. flooding doesn't do them any good.
