Ok. Here is a bunch of issues I have all together.

1st - My ROOM fuse blew out. I noticed that because my trip computer was resetting every time.
2nd - I started to have bouncy idle when I roll to the stop. On cold engine I even had cases when car was stalling.
3rd - Car didn't start yesterday after overnight parking. After bunch of cranking it finally started and didn't have issues to start when warm. Today it didn't start again, so I had to take other car. I have to mention that I'm being very careful about car and it hasn't been shut down without bringing in up to temp.

After reading many posts I think this is what happening:
1. After fuse blew - my PFC "forgot" idle. Is that could be true? If it is, then How do I teach it? I have datalogit, but I don't have commander.

2. Bouncy idle probably screwed up fuel/air ratio on idle and this caused flooding. Can it be the case?


When running - car drives just fine. No issues, strong, fast, etc
Motor has about 1k on rebuild.

I researched about flooding and know next steps but I found one piece of info that got me confused. Is that true that there is fuel cut-off on WOT during start?
If so, then what is the point for removing fuse if I can just crank it with depressed gas pedal?

Tried removing EGI fuse and cranking for a while. No start

What should I try first? I don't smell any fuel or anything...

Question about water pump. I did test by connecting GND and F/P and turning key to ON - I can't hear any moaning. I then took back carpet out, removed aluminum cover and tried to listen. Very very quit, but I can feel vibration if touch cover with finger. Is it really should moan?

I took easy accessible plugs out (close to firewall) and they look nice and dry (just like they should on 1k miles engine)

It looks like motor don't get any fuel. What would be next step without getting dirty with checking fuel pressure?

And why would that be intermittant like that? (read story in original post)
Is there any fuel relay or something?

Ok. Some progress and somebody tell me what's going on please!

Car started right away with push start. Runs fine, no smoke, nothing unusual.
I recharged battery, starter turns better then usual, but no start. Even after car warmed up. Then we did push start and it started just fine again.

What is that?
