Re: Re: starting problems

So why does this happen? Will it continue to happen, isn't there a fix for it?
So you're saying that as long as I don't let go of the ignition before the car starts I should be okay?
I do remember one time while starting up the process was sluggish; I had to crank it longer than normal...

The whole un-flooding process seems kind of complicated... not sure if I can do it without knowing much about mechanics...
Turning the engine over? like to undrain it?

I was told that some gas went into the oil chamber so it messed up the oil, the filter, and the spark plugs.... hopefully this won't happen again, since unflooding the engine wouldn't fix the oil, spark plugs, etc...

How many times did your engine flood before you realized how to fix it?

Thanks!

The throttle version doesnt work.I have had no problems since starting the engine and not letting go of the starter untill i am sure its fired up. The starter will disengage anyway.Just hold that key until you see 2000 rpm
