Another Won't Start Issue

Well Merry Christmas to all.

Went to start my 8 this morning and nothing.
Electrical works fine and the starters cranking away.


Attempted 2 deflooded methods.
Still nothing.


Another other possible cuprits. Plan to have her towed Monday to the dealer via AAA. I'm leaving New Year's for vacation and do not have the time to troubleshoot her.

Put in your front tow hook...and pull it for about a block...it will start even if it is hopelessly flooded...just be ready for the smokeshow

Not sure on sarcasism, someone else recommended push starting. So actually do this.

Yes...it works great on a MT

You could spend hours trying to start it with the other methods...but this works every time.

Hell it will even work with a dead battery if your alternator is good...
