Anyone up for a trouble shooting session?

Trying to get my 8 out and running, and its not. It was flooded, but been cleared out. Just trying to get it started, battery is charged, and fuel full, just no start. So who's free to help out and when?

not this time. too far away for me

just curious, but when you say it was flooded and now its been cleared out but its not running....what the hell do you mean by that? i mean, your car has new plugs coils and wires, and if it was definitly flooded then you know it was getting fuel. so i would it has to still be flooded.

anyways, good luck mate.

My car is running, but not moving. I'd come help you but I am trying to avoid driving the epica as much as possible.

How come you guys are always flooding this poor car??? lol

There have been more than a few people with technical difficulties lately. Trannies not co-operating, engines not firing, dead battaries. lol

The FD is going to all its fluids changed out this season. It's been way too long since I've last done it.

Pros reminded me I have to get the battery charged. Damn winter season!!

Yeah, the gremlins are out. However, I didn't store my car, it just quit working for me at work one day.

lol, never flooded mine (knock on wood!) and when i popped the battery in she started right up (then went off for an oil change)

Mind you, last year everything was going great, then 2 weeks into the season the engine exploded!!!
