while trying to find out why my motor wasn't sparking I flooded it. Now I have spark but its to flooded to start. I took the plugs out and cranked the motor for a while with fuel line pinched and it still wouldn't start. Then I took the plugs out and disconnected the injector harness and cranked it for a while and it still won't start and each time I tried to clean out the fuel I installed new plugs. Is there anything else I can do?

 

I flooded my car with water into the cylinders one time. NO big deal. It must not be that flooded if when you cranked it without the sparkplugs, no gas shot out the top of the sparkplug hole.

Solution: stick a tube in the cylinder and create a vacuum either by siphoning it with your mouth or attach a windex sprayer to the top of tube and spray the gas out like crazy or hook up a shop vac to the tube and suck the gas out just close up the end and dont let the gas go into vacuum cleaner. Good luck.

do a oil change

 

Or, try starting the car at WOT. This worked on my car once when it was flooded (long story) because evidently the ECU will cut off the injectors during a WOT start. Just a thought... EV.

 

Nah!

You must put in the plugs and then disconnect the injector plugs (That not new fuel goes in). Now crank it a few times. When the plugs are out there is now compression in the camber and the fuel does´nt flow thru the exhaust valves.
