okay...i juss read on srowners.com that if your engine cranks, sparks and either juss cranks or cathes but doesn't run...then engine could be flooded...so how do i unflood the engine??

take out the sparkplugs and let it sit over night

if you take the plugs out and they are dry you have a different problem

are you sure you hooked up the fuel lines correctly? and are your injectors actually working?

i know i hooked the fuel lines up correctly...and how do you test the injectors?...when we'd push start the car...it would start for a lil bit and slowly drop to idle and die...so iono...i have no idea whats going on... ...and if we tried to gas it up before it dies...it doesn't do anything

if u think car is flooded, pull 1 or 2 injector harnesses, then crank motor, if it was flooded it will sputter/run rougly for a few of seconds

best way to test injectors is with a noid light

I agree though that it is flooded since you can get it to run a little i think you are getting fuel

The timing is correct?

xtremsiege2 · 03-31-2005, 01:40 PM

could be your alternator, motor is turning over for a few seconds and then stalling, running off what battery you have left, the bogging or like feeling like only 1/2 the cylinders are moving happened to me

If your motor runs for a few seconds then just dies, then it can't be flooded. Probably alternator isn't charging well. Check timing as well and clean your injectors.
