Well, my car has never flooded but I have strings of very long starts.. 10-12 seconds and then starting.. I just figure if the new starter eliminates more of the potential for flooding then I'd like it.

So take it in and tell them you want the flooding TSB. They should do it without a hassle.

I got the new starter, and it worked like that for me for a while, but now I am getting hard starts again. For some reason, they only replaced my starter and plugs, but not the battery.

heh i dont know what all this starter business is about - i bought my 05 last october late in the year.... and mine has always started up within 1-2 seconds of turning the key.

I'm assuming I have the "new" starter because ive never had a problem with hesitation starting or even cold shutdows (ive made a few slip ups with that since ownership)

I could use the new starter... but I don't think I need to ask for anything right now. My car has had a rough week... well, year... Hell, it's had a rough life. Poor thing.
