Flooded in SA need help
I am visiting with my g/f to her parents house in SA. They are moving on monday and my g/f moved my car this morning to make room for the moving truck. She did not let the car warm up before she turned it off. Now my car is flooded and the dealership is closed tomarrow and i need to make it back monday for classes. My Owners manual is on my desk back in Waco so i do no know how to unflood the car. Anyone have any suggestions or is there anyone in the SA area that can help me????

In the Manual it says too...
DE-CHOKING PROCEDURE WHEN ENGINE CRANKS BUT DOES NOT START
If the engine does not start, try the following procedure to start the engine using the de-choke mode. Failure to
do so may aggravate the no start condition.
Cranking Tips
- Attempt to start the engine up to 3 times.
- Allow engine to crank a maximum of 8 seconds when attempting to start.
- Allow minimum of 3 seconds between cranking sessions. If the starter motor is not allowed to cool
between cranking sessions, the starter may spin too slow to start the engine.
1. Depress and hold the accelerator pedal to the floor and crank the engine for 7-8 seconds. (This will clean
out any unburned fuel from the combustion chamber)
2. Release the ignition key to stop cranking and wait 3 seconds.
3. Release the accelerator pedal and start the engine. If the engine starts while performing Step 1, the engine
will rev up. Immediately release the ignition key to stop cranking and remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
• Do not keep holding the ignition switch in the START position over 10 seconds if the engine does not
start. This may result in a weakened or dead battery.
• Avoid racing the engine or sudden take off right after starting the engine.
• If the engine still fails to start following the De-choking procedure, have your vehicle inspected by your
Mazda Dealer.
