How do you relieve a flooded(gas filled) engine?
I think my integra's engine is flooded because when I pulled out the spark plug, it smells like gas and has gas all over it. So how do I get the gas that's in the engine to ingnite so that the car would run. Right now the engine just cranks but doesn't start. Thanks

I pulled the fuel pump fuse, cranked it with the gas pedal to floor.
It let in enough air to start for a moment, before it burned off the extra fuel and then stalled. Put the fuse back, started normal.

simplest way, but not the smartest way is, take ur plugs out and start ur car, but dont run it!!! just turn it on for like 4 secs then cut it off. pretty cool as u see fuel flying into the air like a water sprout. put a towel over the valve cover if u dont wanna get messy. this has worked for a lot of people.

DOHChi,
When you say take the plugs out, how many plugs do I need to pull out? I'm assuming just one plug but I'm just making sure. Thanks.
