If its a SE which judging by your sig I think it is just pull the EGI fuse out and crank it.That does the same thing.I thought yours was a 12a thats why I said pump fuse but on a EFI car its the EGI fuse.

if it's carbed then it's the fuse that's labeled ignition - engine - 20 amp

yeah it is carbed, GLS non se



I tried taking out the fuse and cranking a bit and my battery ran down before it deflooded. The plugs were dripping wet. I think it is to cold to get it running. 6 degrees outside

Wow, that is pretty cold. My 82 GSL doesn't like temps below 45. It will take a good 15-20 minutes just to warm up. I would clean off the plugs real good and let it sit over night. Then I would choke it, pump the gas three times and crank it. If your plugs haven't been changed in a while it might be a good time to buy some new ones.

If your plugs are just dirty and you just want to clean them and not buy new ones, you can clean them by just leaving them in a jar of petrol overnight, then give them a light scrub with a wire brush to clean out excess gunk.
