I'm talking gas. Assuming you take the spark plugs out? without taking the spark plugs out? does starting the car without the egi relays help unflood the car?

unplug your fuel injectors and crank it with the spark plugs in. It should start and die. Then your un-flooded

i was unplugging the fuel pump relay which might have been my problem since the injectors have have still been operating. thanks.

be careful. The gasoline will wash the cylinder walls clean of oil, and when you crank it, you could really fuck up your rings and shit...
i'd get a cap full of motor oil, and pour it down the spark plug hole. And there should be a fuel pump relay. remove that, so your fuel pump doent put more fuel into your engine. Disconnect the injectors, blah blah blah. Just dont rush it.

you could just unplug your fuel pump fuse... take out spark plugs, all of them, un hook your coil and crank that fountain of gas, it works and is fast... plus when you crank it with them in, you run the risk of there being too much fuel and hydrolocking the cylinders because liquid doesnt compress, ask me how i know :)
