Hey guys i have a really bad flood i'm sure. My fiance, who i am still teaching to drive stick stalled at a red light (up a small hill.) Later that night for that one. Needless to say i hurried her to switch seats with me and she did and when i went to crank it it puttered a few times at me and then would not start. It would just continiously crank. So i guess you can say i sat there for about 1 hour cranking it in the middle of this road anxiously hoping some of the quick techniqes would work.

I managed to get it to the side of the road thankfully where she sits in the ghetto area of my town (poor baby atleast i can carry a weapon shes a sitting duck.) Any idea how long it can take to deflood a heavily flooded car.

Yes i searched, Yes i know how to deflood it, but i went back and have been trying everything to get her started and has been about 4 hours of fuseless fuel pump, battery charger cranking. I never took the sparks out but i can't get it towed in the county i live in because it is a new jersey license plate . i'd have to pay a extra 300$.

Details on car, - 04' 6spd, new sparks less than 3k miles, coils n wires could use a change (been about 30k miles) but are still in prime condition.

I was going to use my buddy's truck today to try and pull start it after work (i have a tow hook) Will this start a heavily flooded car?

Thanks for the adice, and here is proof i searched:

Ive gotta 04 6-speed too and I flooded the hell outta it when i first got it. Id say youre best bet is to turn the wheel to the far right, unscrew those two plugs, crank it about 5 times for around 5 sec, clean off those plugs and put em back in. I had some trouble starting mine even after that (kept wanting to die) but after a few tries it'll start pouring black smoke and should run run after a few minutes.
