Flooded Car At Body shop
Anyone ever deflood a car themselves? I need help because they cannot figure out how to deflood my car with the instructions given here...

Ouch. That sucks. Didn't the upgrade starter help fix this issue?? Or is this still ongoing regardless of generation?
G_man,
Sadly hers is an automatic.
I think the instructions is to pull the spark plugs, take the fuses out for the pump and what not, and start cranking her over. Try to get rid of all the excess fuel out of the chambers. Once you see enough fuel come out, reinsert the plugs and try to give her a go.
I think that's about the only thing you can do to an automatic 8???

Best Bet,
Charge Battery, Hold gas to the floor, crank for 5 seconds, wait 10, repeat. Pause is to no overheat starter. Foot to the floor disables fuel delivery to help deflood (that was they way you de-flooded a carbureted car, foot to floor opened automatic choke).
When it starts, keep it running, fast idle, 1,500 or so RPM.
Then, change coils, and maybe plugs. Plugs fouled because coils died.

Man Up Leesha!!
Crank it like you own a battery shop!
What 04Green said, always worked for me.
We don't give up until that starter just clicks, then MAYBE it's spark plug pullin' time, (doesn't help much, bt gives you something to do while the battery is on the charger.)

Thought process when car does not fire the first second....
Oh my God, I am going die
I wonder when I changed the coils..... Crap...
Foot to the floor (track mode)
Whew, that stinks (always inside the garage)
Note to self, it has been about 30,000 miles, order stuff from work, do the kids eat this month, or do I finally get a BHR Ignition....

Sure does lol... Felt like I died went to hell then resurrected into heaven.
One question though. Do I need to do my plugs now? The car was driving fine afterwards but just recently I'm having hesitation problems. Lack of speed...
FOOTMAN:
I want that sheet! Send me a copy.

At this point, I'd like to chime in THIEF and several others from the forum that had seen my "laminated" instruction sheet which I created for a body shop technician specifically preventing an occurence like this, 4 years ago, and laughed at its ridiculousness at that time....
