Unflooded my car, still problems. Please help.
 
Ok my car seemed to be flooded. So fine I've had the problem before so I did the whole unflood process w/ the ATF & all. She started right up but then started to idle really rough and sound like shit too. I just sat there for about 15minutes giving it some gas so that she wouldn't stall hoping that the idle will fix itself. Well the idle never smoothed out and finally I stopped giving it throttle and after a few minutes she just shut off. What gives? Is it just so flooded that I have to unflood it again? can my motor be blown?

Maybe your spark plugs are fouled? Did you change them out?

yeah I'd vote for fouled plugs....did you take them out and clean them or atleast inspect them...

lasttime I did the unflood trick....didn't need to use the ATF

The plugs have only about a 100miles on them. When I pulled them out they were soaked in fuel but I cleaned them real well and let them sit for an hour.

Doesn't matter - put in new plugs.

Yeah I'll try that. Thanks

Wow! so once the plugs get soaked in fuel, even though they are new I can't use them? Damn that sucks! noe I gotta spend another $40. Again
