So recently i believe my car flooded. I tried the 3 step process, pulling the egi chip out which didnt help much. Replaced the spark plugs, battery and wiring from coil pack to plugs thinking it just wasnt getting a spark. Then put in ATF into the engine to get the compression up. Now when i go to crank the engine, it cuts on buy at very low rpm's(less than 1000). When i take foot of the gas, it bogs down and cuts off completely. Not sure where to go from here. Is it extreme flooding? there is plenty of gas going through the egine, can smell it and see the smoke coming out. Could it be just getting enough air, TPS problem or another sensor? Any ideas of where to start looking to fix the problem? Should i pull the relay under the gas pedal to cut of the fuel pump and drain out some gas and give it a shot?

 

Did you try leaving the spark plugs out while you crank it? Have someone watch the holes while you crank (egi fuse out + fuel cut switch to off ...if you have one) Keep cranking it over in 10 sec intervals until no more fuel scent mist comes out of the holes.

If nothing comes out of the spark plug holes then perhaps flooding isn't the problem...

 

ok, i took out the 2 trailing spark plugs and the egi fuse and this is what happened.
There was white smoke that came out and gas as well. But, the front hole was sucking in and the back on was spitting out. I expected both to be spitting out. So what are possible problems with this? Did i lose the front rotor?

 

coudl the apex seal have gone?

 

almost same problem as me.
