READ THIS....SOME GUY WROTE THIS ON A TOPIC ON SOMEOTHER WEBSITE..
WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT IT?...ANY BETTER WAY?...OR EASIER WAY..BETTER EXPLANATION TO IT? AND ALSO I HEARD HONDAS ALWAYS HAS A FLOODING PROBLEM..WHAT DO I DO?

Do the standard checks. Check for spark. Check for fuel. If you have spark & fuel pull the plugs and check to see if they are fouled. Try new plugs. Use NGK plugs. When these cars sit for awhile they have a common problem of flooding themselves. If when you are trying to start the car it sounds like it has no compression (turns over real fast). Pulls the plugs and disable the dist. then crank the car over to clear the engine flood, reinstall the plugs, then try to start normally, if it doesn't start right away try holding the gas pedal to the floor while crancking over the engine (sometimes this may take awhile). If the previous doesn't work sometimes you have to pinch off the fuel pressure line to the injectors then try to start, this is a 2 man job. Good Luck !!!
