these engines are known for flooding,,if you stall or run the car for a very short while it will flood

take the fuel pump fuse out and turn it over to get rid of the feul,if you dont wan to wait 20 mins

That wont get rid of the old fuel as the car still wont start. Hardly ever worked for me. To get the fuel out you will need to take the spark plugs out and turn the engine, this will pump the fuel out from the top. The fuel pump fuse dodge is used to stop any more fuel to be pumped so to stop any further flooding.

you will need to take the spark plugs out and turn the engine, .

do you mean the entire spark plug or just the ht leads???

it can't come out the top if the top is still stopped with a spark plug.

I've always used the fuel pump fuse method, what does it matter if it works
