Help with my fc

Hey, any one in the portland area a little more mecanically inclined than me? I haven't driven the car for about two months, I tried starting it this friday, it sounds like its flooded, I tried the only thing I know but its not working, any help would be great.

What've you tried?

Whenever my FC gets flooded I just pop the hood, pull the EGI fuse, crank for ~10-15seconds, put the fuse back in and fire it up..

btw.. if you have flooding problems you might want to try using Shell/Chevron gas.. Since I switched to these I've only had it flood about once in a year and a half or so.

Feel free to PM me if you are still having troubles.
I might be able to make it up there this week sometime.
