not starting need help
hey guys,
last time i drove my FC Series 5 was about 4 months ago then it was just parked. today, i tried starting and i had a hard time doing it. everytime i take the plugs out, they were really wet with petrol and got some oil on them. but eventually after taking out the plugs, then cleaning them, then put them back in for more than an hour, i finally got it starting. But after turning it off, it wouldn't start again. i think the plugs are having a hard time sparking because of the fuel and oil mixing. what do you guys think? thanks

Its flooding, it could be broken and leaking injectors or low compression.
To deflood a S5 just put your foot all the way to the floor and crank for about 10 seconds and then try to start normally. The foot to the floor tells the ECU to not inject any fuel.
Also, you should let the car fully warm up before you turn it off to help prevent against flooding.
