wont start

im having real trouble starting my fd!
it has not been run for a week and has been parked on my driveway in the cold as a garage was not avaliable! i started it a couple of nights ago and it ran rough for a while, the next day it would not start. we have tried again today but it still wont. it is fueling as we can smell it and it is turning over, but it is not firing up! has anyone got any idea as to what could be up with it and how i could get it running again??

It's most likely flooded.

Search "unflood"

Haha, wow. Im gonna suggest you dont do what this guy is tellin you. If its flooded that would be the absolute last thing your gonna want to do. Do as said before, search for unflood.

At least with a stock ecu, when you floor the throttle while cranking it kills fuel flow. So sometimes that will work. Not sure if it is the same with aftermarket ecus.
