I went to start my car yesterday so I could get it cleaned off from the snow storm in CT. It sounded like it wanted to turn to start and was turning over but nothing. I had moved it the day before quickly without warming it up, bad idea I know, but I have not had any problem and have done that a few times before. I smelt a small amount of gas when trying to start it and even tried to use a truck for some more power. Today I tried the owners manual starting tip for a flooded engine. I also tried pulling the fuel pump fuse and turning the car over to burn off any fuel but it still wouldn't start.

 

auto/ manual?
mileage?
maintenance history?
engine mods?

Sounds like it's flooded...

 

Getting tired of it yet Soldier?

Here we go again...............gonna have to pull the plugs etc, if it's an auto.

Let's see what he comes back with!


Not the exact method I used to help others(I never flooded mine), but the first part is close!


Then use the second attached thumbnail and staple it to your forehead.
However, I don't think you will EVER make this mistake again after going through what you are about to go through.

 

We need a 'stamp <insert answer to repeatedly asked questions> ' button...

 

I have those four "new people" threads I always put in saved as a .txt file on my system, then I just cut and paste them in!
Didn't do it in this case however, but it comes in handy!
