when they say domt let the motor die do they mean give it a bit if gas

Don\'t let it die: When it starts, keep it running!

When mine flooded, it started then died straight away. I didn\'t get on the gas. As soon as it starts, keep the revs up - but don\'t plant you\'re foot on the floor, as you don\'t want the turbos kicking in on a cold engine.

The second time mine started, i was quick enough onto the gas and got the revs up quickly, but knowing that the first turbo would have kicked in, i let the revs drop down to about 1500-2000 rpm so that the turbo was no longer in operation. Sounds more complicated than it really is.

yes, a flooded engine needs to be run for a bit afaik

Have you tried any of this advice yet ?

[nikp]

Runs rough for a bit of starting a flooded engine. Plus you get big clouds of smoke out the back - this is normal. Oh, and it stinks of petrol!!

Same principle as starting a piston engine after it is flooded, keep it revving or you\'ll just have sucked a load more fuel in and made it worse
