gas in my oil???
so i went to start my car at my friends where its in storage (im from toronto where we dont have the luxury of drivin an fd all year round). it wouldnt start, just like the day before. the car was runnin like 2-3 weeks ago. we needed to move my car so we pushed it outside in the sun (i was hoping it would maybe warm the engine up abit????, cold wind but warm in the sun) well i tried a couple more times but gave up. when we went to push it back in the barn we noticed some brown stuff leaking from under my car???? when we smelled it all we could smell was gas, but it looked and felt like oil???? didnt have time to look at where it was coming from. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

sayin that you could not start it...flooded..oil that smells like gas severely flooded...check the oil on the dip stick ..the level..and smell it..smell like gas?..get the excess fuel out of the rotor housings by taking the plugs out,removing the EGI fuse and rolling the engine over 30 seconds ..put a milkshake straw of oil in lower plug holes.roll engine over3 seconds ..replace the plugs and EGI fuse..NOW ..before you start the car CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER(if you found gas in the oil)..should start ..good luck

thanks guys for the info, i read a forum and someone said an easy way to start a flooded engine was to turn the key for 15 seconds, then do the same but wot, and repeat till it starts????? that sounds like a bad idea to me, wouldnt that just flood it more?

oh RXHEAVEN..FORGOT TO MENTION..CLEAN THE PLUGS,BEFORE REINSTALLING THEM..please don't start the engine with gas in the oil..change it...and WOT when you roll the engine over 30 sec..the reason for takin plugs out besides cleaning them(and rolling engine over,plugs out).excess fuel will come out the plug holes too and ALL of it won't go into your exhaust system....and Smiths Falls ..nice?..I must live on "the other side of town"...(it bites..lol)..hershey bars,tool boxes and drug addicts..great if you're a crack head mechanic with a sweet tooth!!
