welcome to the world to the 7s dude, what is happeneing is your injectors are leaking the fuel that is left when you shut down the car. I tool mine to a fuel njection place in my city to have them cleaned, now it works fine. If you done have one close go to RCeng.com they will do the same for like $25 an injector

He means the Volk Racing TE37 wheels. You know, the cultish forged wheels that weigh less than my pinky. :bigok:

When it floods, pull the spark plug boots off the plug slightly. It will then start! You may have to ask a buddy to hold the plug wire (use pliers or something) away from the plug. Better yet, do it at the coil side. You only need to do the Leading plugs.

Or you can take the easy way out and just pull the EGI fuse under the hood, crank it a few times, and put the fuse back in.

Check the responses to your newest thread. You may have an ignition problem. You should try checking your ECU for any trouble codes.

If you don't know how to retrieve the codes then take a look at http://www.teamfc3s.org/info/articles/erro...codes/main.html .

Pulling the ECU fuse is an attempt to try to clean the fuel by cranking the motor without the injectors firing.



Plugging the plug wires out slightly will allow them to fire and burn the fuel off and should start the motor.



The reason this works has to do with a bunch of technical babble, but basically if you increase the resistance (by pulling the wire away) you increase the voltage of the spark and cause it to jump the wire and fire the fuel soaked flooded plugs.
