3rd gen starting problem
 
does anyone know how to fix a start up problem. cranks but doesn't want to turn over. havent drove it for a month now and when i decided it was good enough to drive it wont start. sounds flooded when i did a rolling start but thats as far as i got. even tried pulling the egi fuse off and starting with gas pedal down, then inserting the egi fuse back and starting it like regular a few times.

Deflooding is not just taking the fuse out.
Clean the plugs,get the fuel out of the housings (EGI fuse out,roll engine over)..and then put some oil in the plug holes to get the compression up.Roll engine over plugs out..
then put the clean plugs back in,EGI back in and try to start it.

My fd has trouble starting up aswell sometimes. If i cut the ignition and try to start it back up within lets say 10 minutes it struggles. Odd

Have you guys tried this fix?

You have two basic options as I see it. Either have the ability to do some relatively simple investigative checks on your car, or the ability to pay someone to do it for you. Posting up essentially "my car won't start, what could it be?" doesn't really tell us much.

I'll just throw this out...problems with hot starts frequently signals a low compression engine.
