So i have looked around see why my car is not starting and most of the people that i asked said its flooded or something like the fuel pump is not working...well im not much or really not a mechanic, id like to do it myself but im not that confident in doing so. And please dont think that just coz my name is lazyboy doesnt mean that im lazy to perform this tasks lol its js a name. Well anyways i was hoping someone here would tell me who can help me this this issue

I have done the mazda rx8 protocol on how to deflood my car but depressing the accelerator pedal while turning the ignition to start for 10 seconds.thats pretty much what i can do because like i said im not a mechanic i am here to ask EXPERIENCED guys on how to fix it or who can fix it cheap..

 

Im scared that if i go to a shop they will charge me a lot but will call still for a qouta.

 

if you have a MT...just pull start it. Works like a charm every time

 

There are several different de-flood procedures people have listed as sure fixes. Try them all.

 

Hey, what's up man. Well u could try pulling of the Fuel Fuse then crank the engine while stepping on the gas so u can burn the access fuel in your engine. Then reinstall your fuel fuse and try to get it started. Idk if this will forsure work but it a shot. Here's a video of someone doing it. Worked for him.

 

Oldest trick in the book and always work.

 

i use to flood my car all the time, yes i was a habitual flooder.
with a strong battery optima red top, the new updated starter, and the bhr coils
flooding is now a thing of the past.

 

If your car has not been reflashed at the dealer with the MSP-16 update, have it done ASAP. There should be a sticker under the hood if it's done, but most dealers don't take the 30 seconds to put it on. However the dealer will know based on your VIN if it's been done to your car or not. It's supposed to be free. It will help prevent future flooding and also increases the oil injection rates.
