For those newbies out there...it does pay...

Well, today my car wouldn't start when I tried to start it, was cold outside, like 11pm... and...

I went to the Haynes manual, pulled it out, found out it had been flooded, pulled the fuse...

And it fired up, without any trouble - even better than when I cold start it in the mornings.

So for those who just ask questions here, (I've done it many of times myself), make sure you check the manual first. Most things are in there, however I'm not used to the layout yet. Look first, then come here.

YAY I got it to work though! hahaha

In the S4 I believe it's labeled EGI INJ, 40A? I believe that's what I pulled.

If memory serves me right.

In my S4 T2, it's the green 40A fuse, 2nd one in from the engine side of the fuse box.

The first time my 7 flooded, I freaked out. Couldn't get it started for a few hours. Then I did the trick and blammo, worked fine. Now it does nothing but flood after I did the turbo swap. Damn. Time for new injectors.
