DO THIS if your car floods out

I tested the spark plug wires today during my lunch hour.

They were really sparking up. So definately shorting there and causing the miss firing to flood the engine. Going to get a fresh pair of High quality spark plug wires on the way home tonight and hopefully that does the trick.

I agree with John. Your car should not flood itself out. There is something causing it.

On the way to Part Source to get new spark plug wires I stalled the car twice... very damp rainy day.. very sluggish.

Flooring the gas peddle and then starting the car worked like a charm! Thanks for this tip.

Got new distributer cap, rotor, and spark plug wires. Coated the boots and plugs with some silicon dielectric goo too keep the moisture out and so far it hasnt been missfiring and flooding the engine.
