Ok, I have a 90 n/a and not a week goes by that my car gets flooded. the problem is that the car will start pefectly after a goodnight's sleep of after 3 hours or so. But if i go to like walmart or something it will not start. i will get it up to operating temp and turn the car off at 750 RPM. then after 30 minutes or so the car will take about a minute and a half of pumping and various method of starting the car. Is it a minor case of flooding every time? Also i put a custom intake on the car. After i put the intake on the car it wouldnt start for about two weeks. The car started after a while and it wasnt flooded. The idle has been shity ever since, start up has sucked, but response is great. Before that the car was an angel at starting. Do you think that an AFC will solve the problem? Maybe a throtle adjustment?

Another problem is that during the week if I dont put anti freeze in every morning the car will most definitly over heat. I know that there isnt a coolant leak, and i'm burning coolant by the hour but how hard is it to replace the coolant seals? And where can i get them?


Please any ideas or suggestions would be greatly apprciated.

Yes I know that i dont have 3,000 posts.

hey whats up with the "kid"? its not coolant leak i burn it off. the anti freeze resuvior get full and over flows when it idles to long at an over heat. hence the whole ''add coolant everyday'' problem.

and about the flooding... try revving to 3k and holding the pedal there, turning the key off, and waiting for the rpms to get to zero.
You sure you got all your coolant leaks fixed?
