Do the unflooding procedure: pop he hood, take out the two top fuses, crank the car while holding the throttle wide open(pedal to the floor), After cranking two or three times for 10 seconds each(30 second rest periods) replace the fuses. It should start now.

this isn't a place to talk about your highschool bully.

PS- A push start is almost guaranteed to start the bitch. Flooded or not.

there is a thread on this already on how to make a fuel cut off switch (FCD I think) But its not that hard to do at all. But the only way i don't flood my engine is rev'in it up to 4-5k before i shut the engine off.
