nebraska cars?
I checked the compr3ession everything is fine there, fuels get to the rail, coil packs are fine, replaced spark plugs, been trying to unflood it now for the past three days, still nothing, the car just cranks and cranks.
I don't know much about the 2nd gens, other than I know love the 10AE.
This is from the FAQs in the 2nd Gen. Seciton. Maybe it will give you some ideas or some guys more familiar FCs will chime in. Good luck.
BTW, what part of Omaha are you in?
My car doesn't start
Remember when starting a fuel injected car you should never pump or press the accelerator pedal, but if it won't start it is probably flooded, Hold the accelerator pedal all the way down while cranking, do not pump the pedal. If it still doesn't start after a few tries, Then remove the EGI fuse and crank a couple more times, then re-install the fuse and try starting again. If then the car still fails to start it then you need to remove and clean the spark plugs, put in a teaspoon of good quality 20W50 motor oil or a teaspoon of ATF into the lower sparkplug holes, re-install the spark plugs and try again. Make sure you change your oil after you have started and run the car ASAP.

Depends on how things go, I'm breaking in a new motor which just now has 45 miles on it. I need an excuse for more driving. A cruise with a chance to meet new people sounds good. Do they allow old guys?
i think there will be a couple of older guys there.
**** there's a meet this weekend? I might be down for that...any of you bellevue guys meeting up before heading out? Or I take it none of you are goin?
