ok so i removed my plugs and went about the procedure to deflood it last weekend(without holding the accelerator down because I was too scared to mess the car up even more) and nothing happened... The plugs seemed in pretty good shape and I cranked the car about 10 times to remove the oil gas mix that was in the engine.. When i went to start it up after all that work I got nothing, the engine just whizzed around and didnt fire or seem like it even wanted to catch... Idk what to do now and am getting scared that its a compression issue :-/ any other suggestions before I bring it to the dealer??

 

My suggestion:

Follow the de-flood procedures.

You have to keep the pedal to the floor so it cuts fuel. If not, you're dumping more fuel in. It may/probably will take way more effort than one 10 minute try.

 

Did you remove the fuel pump fuse? If not you wasted your time.... Without having the fuse removed or holding the pedal down fully while cranking, the car will put more gas in than you can pump out...

Might be time to take it to dealer if you did it right, and it would not start.

 

Alright first off ******* I did follow the de-flood procedures and worked on it for 3-4 hours so don't talk like you know whats up... Yes I did remove the fuel pump fuse 1.3liter... What I wasn't sure about was the air pump and how to disconnect that. Im hoping it's not that big of a deal... I'm gonna try one more time and redo it all over again next weekend but if that fails I'm just gonna bring it to the dealer :-/

 

Also I was scared to hold the pedal to the floor so I didn't touch the accelerator. I heard others that did this and the car deflooded successfully. Maybe I'll try to hold it to the floor this time..

 

My car flooded before and i took it to the dealership and they fix it and gave me new plugs for free, call the dealership and ask if you still under warranty,

 

2Fast, try again but hold the pedal down, when u hold the pedal down it allows more air in the engine which helps get the gas out. These engines can sometimes be a bitch tO unflood. Give the battery a good charge before trying, or even better have someone the jumping you while you crank.

Good luck

 

thanks man, ill do that and if all else fails Ill go to the dealer... Im positive im no longer under warranty so I wont get that lucky haha

 

Quick question, do I floor the accelerator and then crank the engine or do I crank and as soon as I start cranking I floor it??

 

Floor it then crank.

 

Ok that's what I did, got it deflooded and back running again!! Had my exhaust facing my open garage haha, filled with smoke which went into my house somewhat lol.. Anyways thanks everyone for the help, I greatly appreciate it and I'm sure my wallet does too
