I flooded my 8 about 2 months ago after I made the tragic mistake of backing it out of the garage and shutting it off in less than a minute. I used the deflooding procedure that I found on this site. I reved the engine and drove her around afterwards, trying to get rid of all the smoke. I noticed a slightly less crisp sound when reving since then, but thought it might have just been my imagination. It almost sounds like the engine is fluttering very very slightly when my RPMs are climbing. Is it possible that this may still be a result of when I flooded it? I am planning to take it to the dealership, but is the fact that I flooded it that long ago and didnt bring it in going to affect my warranty? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

(Just for extra info, I have no mods besides exterior, I have added two quarts of oil since then, it was about 65 degrees when I flooded)

take it to the dealer

id say take it to the dealer also, it should be under warranty. youve got nothing to loose besides atmost a few hours of your time

Take it to the dealer but be sure you take it to the RIGHT dealer. I just returned from the dealer about an hour ago for the same reason. They had to tow my 8 in because it was flooded. When the service guy was finished he said that he replaced my Battery with the proper one, did the same with the starter and replaced the plugs with better and up to date specs. The dealer I purchased it from did not do this even after I had it towed prior to today! THEN... the service man said that I needed new front brake pads because of sqeaking and new rotors as they are warped. The previous dealer said they could not find the problem even though I told them about this three months ago. ( sorry for the rant ) So... find the right dealer. Ask around town who is the best and most reliable. I know where I am going from now on.

Good luck! and rev that engine before you shut down!

Fouled plugs from the flooding maybe? Either way dealer should replace the stuff no problem. If they don't, then throw a fit until they do.
