got in car today to go work , will not start just turns over really fast.
so im thinking flooded or tips.
any help would be appreciated :Thumbsup!
thanks
If it\'s flooded you can take out the sparkplugs, remove the EGI relay/fuse. It\'s located at the fusebox on the battery. then turn the engine a couple of times for 5 seconds at the time, that should get the fuel out, then put the plugs back inn and the EGI relay and start the engine..
At least that\'s what I got advised when mine was flooded this weekend..
Or you could get someone to pull you at 30-40 mph. put the car in second and let it get pulled for a while, then try accelerating while you\'re beeing pulled and eventually it will start running like normal again..
Thats what I did yesterday, and it got the car running great again...

adib, try the easy fix first. Crank the engine with the pedal to the floor for a good few seconds. This turns the engine over but doesnt pump fuel.
tryed that martiny no go, so taken plugs out and will leave them out over night and try it again tomorrow.
cant tow it aikio front nose is to low to ground so cant get to tow points and ill try and find that fuse before i put plugs back in
thanks guys

Just as a matter of interest what happened the last time you drove it? Was it ok? Did you take it for a decent drive or have you just started it for a couple of seconds to move it off your driveway etc?
yes did start it to move it out the way bad i no but was in a rush.
does any one have a picture off what one is the egi fuse relay.
tryed two sets off plugs today and no go so need to find that fuse.
by the way when trying to start it was not fireing but getting lots off smoke from exhaust
When you pulled your plugs where they wet with fuel? you didnt say :Thumbs-up
Loads of white smoke = flooded
EGI fuse is in the skinny fuse box to the right hand side of the battery. Second or third from the top I think (?)
I always just pull the fuse, turn over for a bit, replace fuse, turn over for a bit and repeat. The more smoke you burn off the better it will eventually start (or it does for me : ) will help to have a fully charged battery, or even better a jump start.
