i take it these cars are known for leaky injectors and hard starts when hot! that is my main problem also, like alot of other people apparently! just by reading alot of your topics i am learning about this car! pretty helpful! i have always been a V-8 man, but i really like this car! alot of potential! i picked up my car for 500 bucks in almost perfect running condition for a gas saver, (even though i drive it like it is a race car), lol.... interior excellent, brand new radiator, tires and some other misc stuff! paint needs some work and now i am having motor problems! i have already posted a topic about the hard starts and smoking issues! now my questions are about the leaky injectors and some stuff i have been hearing about the deflood switch or button! i think for the most part the reason my car is starting rough and smoking is from flooding and leaky injectors! now for the question..... lol..... can anyone tell me where this deflooding switch is??? i here alot of people talking about it, but noone ever says where it is! trying to learn all the abriviations too! lol! if anyone can give me some info on this i would be very thankful! i am about to put a new motor in it, but if i don't have to then i would rather not! the car only has 116k on it 4k i put on it in the past few months! i really want to fix the hard starting issues and smoking issues! car runs pretty good once started!



one more thing...... it gets hot after idleing for about 10 mins! it has new radiator like mentioned above, new water pump, fluid, hoses, clutch fan... pretty much everything with the cooling, but yet still gets hot at idle! any info on this???



thank you..... ahead of time! lol!

you heating issue could be caused by a bad sending unit. as far as the flooding issue, I dont have my manual handy to tell you where the relay is located but if I am not mistaken it is under the dash. I just forget exactly what to look for.



This is also a highly talked about topic like you mentioned. I am sure that maybe somewhere someone mentioned something about the location and which relay it is. Best of luck to you,

thanks for the info! but what sending unit??? do you know what the relay is called, because i have a pretty good manual, actually acouple pretty good ones! i can find it in that! if you are talking about the fuel pump relay, then i know where that is! they are mentioning a deflooding switch under the hood, but where??? lol!

deflooding switch, thats it! Try looking under the fuel systems section. It should show a diagram of the engine bay and an arrow of some sort pointing towards the relay.



The sending unit I am talking about is the Water Temp sending unit. It can be found on the drivers side of the block just below the oil pressure sending unit and to the left. it is a pretty small piece with a male connector looking thing protruding off of it. I think the color wire is like yellow with an orange line or maybe red, not sure.

The sending unit looking thing on the top part of the radiator is just a water level sensor.

sorry to miss prove u, but you simply have to pull a relay under the hood if u look on the drivers side near the front of the engin bay right by the strut tower you will see a relay panel it almost looks like a fuse box it has 6-8 relays in it and they are all in a strait line pull out the second one from the left its orange or pink then crank the car for 5-10 seconds turn ignition to off put the fuse back in where you got it try starting the car as normal should start right up
