Help plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother moved my car from the driveway without letting the car warm-up first, so I think he flooded the engine. Since then my car doesn't start, and I have tried the deflooding procedure, but it hasn't worked. this morning I called the dealer, and they are charging me a lot of money I can't afford right now. if anybody can help me, or lives in the Town and Country area in Florida, I would really apprecciate it.

there are several methods of deflooding. what did you try? is it a stick? if so you could try to tow start it.

The best way to restart it is to remove the fuse for the fuel pump. Its in the fusebox under the hood. Its a 15 amp blue fuse. Make sure you get the right one, there are other blue 15 amp fuses.

Pull the fuse and crank the car until it sounds like you have compression again, then re-install the fuse and try to start it. You may have to try it a couple of times but eventually it will start.

and is manual transmission.
