Well after almost a year, she finally flooded. My poor baby ....
here's some pics of the tow... I kept a CLOSE eye on the process.

What did you do to make it flood.... pretty warm in CA.....

AdictiveRx

The usual story...pulled it out of the garage, didnt warm it up, pulled it back in. Did it twice in one day. The next day...kapoot. ...learned my lesson

Mine did that same thing at just over a year. Had it been sitting a while? Make sure the dealer follows the TSB and installs new plugs.

did you try to to start the car yourself? PRessing the gas/pulling the fuel pump fuse?

I took mine to the dealer, they installed new plugs and some software upgrade on the PC. They said this will help, but still advised to warm up engine before cutting off where possible.

I've always wanted to know whether the car's gas mileage becomes worse after flooding. Can anyone confirm?

should have tried the flooding procedure...the guy came to tow my car (it was -15F degrees) and he got it going...it takes about 20 mins...be patient!

I got her back. All is well. I of course tried all the procedures to start her but with no avail. The dealer said that they just did the same procedure and it worked for them. After reviewing their service notes, i noticed that it tells the technicians to disconect one of the vacume hoses from the intake. I dont know which but apperantly it worked. Ah well, everythings fine now...well sorta. I justed installed the CZ1 unit and got some great results but my check engine light turned on. One thing at a time i guess

My dealer said was known problem. There was a recall with a fix. Only took about 20 minutes to fix. Said another customer came in on flatbed, unable to start car.
