Not too long ago my 8 went into the shop because of a no start problem. Apparently it was due to flooding. When I got the car back I noticed from time to time it doesn't start up like it used to. There doesn't seem to be any predictability to it happening but I have noticed it about 7 times now. Has anyone else seen this behavior???

Thanks in advance.

 

My 8 has never flooded (knock on wood) but my start times vary a lot and I'm getting ready to take it in for a "slow to start" condition. Sometime it takes 3 cranks. I think it's best to ALWAYS rev to 3-4 k for 10 seconds before shutdown, esp in winter.
