hey been working on un flooding my gtu for about an hour now. pulling the fuse and trying it but having to take my battery off ever 5 min to charge it. two questions i remembered that i put my trailing plugs on bottom and the leading on top so i swithed them around but when i did the leading plugs that i had on the top were soaked in oil ?is this a problem or normal i heard it was the bottom that got oil on them when flooded? and after i put the fuse back in it did a nasty balloon popping backfire and a lil smoke was coming out of the exhaust.
any ideas?

 

To deflood you need to pull the injector fuse and crank.

If this doesn't work pull your (L)eading (L)ower plugs with the fuse and crank.

If this still doesn't work you will need to push start the motor.

Yes, a bit of oil goes into the Leading plugs if you need it and this will cause it to smoke a bit at start up. The plugs should not be soaked in oil so you probably have to clean them.

 

hey finally got it done.
I pulled both egi comp and egi inj cuz iv read both in seperate threads also I've read 2 stroke and regular oil in the bottom to plug holes as well. I used a baby dropper prob about 5 ml or so and squirted my regular synthetic in each one any suggestions on how much and wat type also which fuse I've read many different ways

 

Any suggestions

 

I usually pull my egi inj fuse out of habit. I have never flooded so bad I need oil so I cant tell you a good amount to put in there.

Did turn the motor over with the plugs out? Did you clean the plugs so they aren't still fouled?

 

Don't put oil in the trailing, top, spark plug holes. They have a very tiny opening through the housing and the oil just sits there surrounding the plug tip, preventing it from firing. A teaspoon of oil in each leading plug hole is sufficient, after you've removed the egi and ign fuses, plugs and cranked the engine over to blow out the extra fuel. Plugs need to be cleaned before installing. I beadblast, shoot them with brake cleaner then blow dry. If you don't have a bead blaster, clean and dry them.

Give your battery time to fully charge, if you can't set the charger to the boost start setting if it has one.

 

Ok, 1st you need to have a completley charged battery. then un plug the crank sensor. now pull out all 4 plugs. (clean & dry them).

You have "fuel wash" from the flooding = low compression.

now squirt some oil in the rotor housings (use the larg plug hole).

now we are going to purge the engine. crank the engine over with the charger still conneted to the "fully charged battery" do this until the engine stops producing fog (mist from old fuel & oil) you just injected.

Now with a small shot of carb clean,injector clean, brakeclean etc.. spray the plug holes to clean them of oil. now install your clean plugs (connect the crank sensor) and start the car.

 

If all else fails, a push start never does.

Keep in mind that once a set of plugs has been flooded this badly, they are junk.

 

yeah aaron is right, your plugs are probably toast. U might get lucky though. ZFollow peoples instructions here. Start with a fully charged battery, a few squirts of atf or 2 stroke oil in the lower plug holes and crank it until the mist stops coming out, but make sure you dont have spark or all that gas you are spraying out might ignite. extinguishers are always good. Heat up your spark plugs with a torch, put it all back in and you should fire right up and have a good bug fogger. Dont turn it of until its warmed up. If it keeps flooding you have a fuel injector problem most likely

 

Never flooded one this baldy but I have had 2 motor die and thought they were just flooded...check the compression to be safe.

 

Compression checking a flooded engine will result in a artificially low compression number.

 

You probably will need to replace those parts.

 

There Is Also A Connector For The Fuel Pump Right By The Mid Way Doun The Steering Colum

 

Thanks everyone

 

I just shook them and blew the oil out didn't know about spraying them with anything

 

Sorry stupid question do you mean squirt the plugs or the holes on engine? Hasn't really flooded since... twice just wheb going to walmart but luckily all I had to do was pull the plugs and crank a second and try it and it started right up
