Flooded?
My car won't start. It's turning over, has gas, starter has been checked, all fuses checked, timing and all checked. Battery is good too. So can any one maybe let me know what else to do. I have no idea what else to check.

Here, just helped someone this morning that flooded their car!
Read through it, they got it running in no time........although it does take some time.
I'm not typing all that crap again.

try this forum, if you can't get it started then call a towing company to take it to the dealer, by the way.... Have you received the Mazda De-flooding DVD they sent to all owners during the summer of last year ?

I prefer to just go for a spin around the block.
From what I know.........3k rpms is enough and then shut it off, you don't have to floor the pedal afterwards.

Did everything it said about flooding, still nothing. Should this matter? I hit someone on the right front and busted out the headlight and bent the hood. My car drove home and we drove it around a week after the accident. A week after that it wanted to start, but nothing. So...haven't a clue now.

to get mine started i followed the TSB for "engine cranks no start" on http://finishlineperformance.com/sto....php?pageid=11
I followed it to the letter and it worked for me.
