I think someone else had a bill for $700 for a flooded engine. Be prepared to say no.

 

i wish i could, but I have no say really, im just the BF trying to fix the car. The guy does all the work for all the cars in her family, but none of them are rotary though... but hopefully he wont charge them tooo much.

if i do get it back(which im sure i won't) how much does a set of new plug wires run?

 

Well because of the flood, I would change out the plugs, not the plug wires.
But you can get them from Charles R Hill for $80.

 

bout to get back to work on it, the damn guy still has not shown up to tow it, so **** him, im working on it!

 

good news, FIXED IT!!!! wooot wooot!

a HUGE THANKS to everyone who helped me in this thread! and to all who wrote the DIYs, and Previous flooding troubleshooting posts!

here is what i did, took out plugs again, cleaned em really good again, cranked the car over several times to blow out all the excess fuel, then reinstalled plugs, before i cranked it, i did the windshield washer fluid trick too. this whole time(approx 30 mins) the car battery was hooked to another running car. then i tried to start it, it kicked over, but stalled out. tried again, nothing. after a few tries, and a final 4 squirts of washer fluid in each port, it got it running! wooot wooot wooot $300+ dollars saved!

on a side note, i cut the hell outta my left wrist trying to get the cap off the back service port. it looks like a failed suicide attempt! its pretty damn deep, and got one of the rags nice and bloody!

thanks again everybody! ill probably stick around this forum, i enjoyed the help i got here. the car was bought by her dad, and she isn't allowed to mod it at all! i put a direct FM adapter and mount in for her ipod, but thats about it!

thanks again!

 

Congratulations....
Glad we could all help.
That's what we are all here to do.

 

Send him the bill. :P

Glad we could help out and glad you've decided to stick around. Now read the post I did on installing iPod adapters and you can do it without him knowing the difference. :P

 

i work car audio at Best Buy, the install would be cake, but getting the permission is the hard part.

 

Show him my car and tell him that is what you want to do to hers.... then when he freaks out and starts to yell at you - go nah, just kidding - all I wanna do is this itty bitty iPod thing.

 

What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Might hurt you...but who cares...right?

 

can you link me to your post? i didn't find it.
