Scroll through the thread, and you will see the 16th post. Read it.

Good luck.

 

I just did this a couple days ago....so its fresh.

1. Pull the fuel pump relay and pull the spark plugs...

2. Crank the engine for about 10-15 seconds..in between cranks wait 15 minutes

3. Keep cranking until no more gas in coming out of the spark plugs holes...I did mine 3 times...

4. Clean the plugs..or install new ones.(dont attach wires yet)..crank one more time...

5. attach wires and relay back...and you should be good to go

Please do in a well aired area...cause it will smell like GAS...get away from your water heater in other words...

* when I crank I press the gas pedal down all the way too...when the car starts..dont let it die...It may smoke like crazy..but warm that baby up and take some quick laps around the block...

 

Thanks people...

 

Or if you don't want to do that...The easy way would be to have some one pull your car and pop your clutch. It might take a few tries and you might need to throttle it a bit. It will smoke like crazy for a few minutes too, but that seems to be a little less time consuming.

 

if your cars flooded to the point that even holding the acel down to shut off fuel pump...draging the car arround the block isnt gonna help @ all...for some reason the ecu went into cold start mode, and dumped a **** load of fuel in....

only way is to pll plugs,,and crank till dry..
trust me ive tried every other way..

wating dosent work@ all
atf dosent really help if your that flooded..
starting fluid isnt woth the braincells
just cranking with fues pulled.may work,..but if your really flooded might as well pull plugs
dragin car and poping clutch dosent do anythign but make it flood more



pullin plugs takes 20 min max including time to jack it up and all...

i gould prob swap plugs in 15 min now..b/c mine had a flooding problem for a month..
these cars hate to sit.

 

So this is the best whay to do it ^^^ ...??
