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.

You can push start it...might take a couple tries though.

There's a great DIY deflood article in the Deflood section with 3 or 4 different methods....get busy. My RX8 was flooded 3 times, all of which were deflooded using the methods in the DIY.
