Fuse box under hood, located on drivers side near strut tower. Pull the EGI fuse and crank car for 5-10 seconds, will diable fuel from being inected and blow acess fuel out of chambers from being flooded. You try putting oil in the spark plug holes yet? I saw you said you put gas...

Make sure to crank the engine without the fuse in..then do the oil...gotta get all that fuel outta there before you do anything. Pull fuses, throttle to the floor, crank engine for like 5-10...then do the oil.

remember to stop the flow of fuel to the engine.

With the amount of gas you have in there I would

do the ATF thing but use Marvel Mystery Oil instead of ATF

Let it sit overnight, crank it with no fuel again until the engine

sounds normal, then put the fuse back in and try to start it again,

if it doesnt start RIGHT AWAY pull the fuse again and keep cranking.



I always like to crank it a bit before I put the spark plugs

back in after it sits overnight to kind of blow that **** out the spark plug holes.

The key is making sure it doesnt flood out again.

Phewww Ok:



Car has been sitting. you need to give it a TUNE UP before it will run again. change the oil (drain it, refill it) (5 quarts) Put a new set of spark plugs in. Remember Trailing.... Leading...



Than pull the EGI/INJ fuse. it's the power fuse for the injectors. it turns the injectors on so that fuel can be sprayed into your engine. THe reason your car is flooded it because you tried to start it, when it had allready lost all it's compression. So, take all spark plugs OUT. Drain oil. and put some ATF (Automatic trans fluid) in the two bottem holes in the engine (Leading spark plugs holes)



Put everything back together after giving full tune up. and she ;should; start



Good luck, tell us how it goes.

look after it sits for an extended period of time u will lose compression in the motor, on ur upper intake u should have three black hoses runnin vertically down the front... the largest one on top, disconnect it and pour automatic transmission fluid in it...i know this sounds funky but it really works, i restarted my blown motor that sat for a year like this, just trust me.......

disconnect the hose, pour in a bunch, i mean like a quarter of the quart, and pull you injector fuse under the hood and turn it over for probably a 5-10 second length of time, put your fuse back in and try it, most likely it will kinda fire but not take over, then pull it again, put more trans fluid in it, and try it again...should start on second or third try, if u get enough power to move it to a descent speed, two cars might be your best bet with trying to jump it...

what the tranny fluid does it lubricate ur seals and dissipate your excess fuel u dumped into the motor, oh and ya it will smoke like a mother, don't worry it does stip and this method is great for starting a flooded car, but i just hooked a switch up in the car that shuts off the injectors so that makes it a whole lot easier, if u have any questions, email me at aceviper72985@juno.com
