Hard Start
Hard Start
Yesterday the car was running great, everything was perfect and today I couldn't start the car... The car sounded like it wanted to start but nothing happened. I did notice that there was a lot of grayish smoke coming from the exhaust. IT didn't smell sweet or nothing. The oil pressure gauge was kind of low when was trying to start it. And also a thing that says NOK beeps...

I am starting to think that the car might be flooded...
are these the correct steps to deflooding an engine?
step 1: jack up car and take of front left wheel
step 2: pull the fuel pump and injector fuses
step 3: remove little plastic shield in wheel well
step 4: remove the 4 spark plug wires from the plugs ( they are marked and not easily switched)
step 5: remove plugs with various socket extension
Step 6: crank over engine and eject all the gas from the housing (15-20 secs)
step 7: clean and replace plugs and do the steps in reverse

You don't have to remove both plugs from each rotor - just one. I've always done the leadings but it doesn't really matter. Unless you remove the circuit opening relay as well, you should hold the gas pedal down to the floor while cranking. Crank until you don't see any more white vapor rising from the plug holes, but don't do it for more than about 30 seconds at a time without giving it a break.
