PUSH/PULL starting car?
 
I was wondering, if a car is heavily flooded will it still pull start? because i tried pull starting it, and it didnt even begin to catch?

thanks :scared:

if it's flooded...
Is it fuel injected?...if it is I just held the gas pedal down while I turned it over and it kicked on.
Don't pump the pedal though.

mine would get flooded and would bump start unless it was really heavily flooded like if the injector was stuck open

only if its and s5 s4's have to remove fuel relay and crank it

well my mother flooded mine while i was inside, she asked to drive it and you have to give it a lil gas to start well, its about 5 minutes and i go out to see whats wrong and shes out there crankin the damn thing and pumpin the pedal all the way to the floor. i ran to her and was like wtf are you doing, and she just says the damn thing wont start. so in any case she flooded it and it took me 45 min to get it started again and burn the fuel off. bah!

pull starting worked for me one time when it was heavily flooded. got up to bout 25-30 mph dropped the clutch in 2nd wouldnt rev for a while. bunch of white smoke too. but eventually after lettin it run for a while i was able to rev it up and burn off the rest of the fuel.

No, it's an RX7 and it's not fuel injected... :squint:

Yes it's fuel injected.

No, not really. You unplug 1 thing in the hatch and you're good to go. Or, remove an underhood fuse and that, essentially, does the same thing.

S5's have a built in fuel cut if you hold the gas all the way down while cranking.

dont pull start it... push start it... its safer....

get a truck, put foam around bumper, and tell the guy to start driving into you
