my car got flooded today , i pull the plugs off and cleand them , i disconected the fuel pump and crank it with out the plugs . bout still wont start what else can it be there is gas and and spark.

i do hear pops and it almost wanna start bout notting

help !

As odd as this may sound to you, I have had great sucess lately with pumping the gas pedal in and out quite fast, I first pull the top 2 fuses, then crank it for 12 seconds, then I put them back in, and give it gas while cranking.. I havent started my car in like 3 weeks so it was being hesitant to start, poping and smoking and ****, and then finally after pumping the gas while cranking she came to life, turns right over now just fine...most people would say dont do it on a EFI vehicle...but its a rotary..

flooring it while cranking works better as it goes into flood clear. i need to do that to rx-8s all the damn time.

i believe only the s5 has the flood clear when floored thing right? try pull starting it if it wont start normally, it usually does the trick. and i will preach about wiring in a fuel pump switch so u can turn it off to unflood it....it is a flip of a switch and crank for a lil bit then flip it on!!no getting out of the car or anything...

Unplug the fuel pump, try it over again. It can take a few trys to get it unflooded.

God we need a sticky for this topic, no offense but i am so sick of reading about one every 2 days, please just search or put one of the 3000000000000000 flooding topics in the FAQ.

Oh and yeah the S4 doesnt have the flood clear feature

put plugs back in with fuse, unplug pump, and crank until it doesn't smell like **** out the tail.... then plug back in and it should be good.
