Christine, what a film. Never mind fella

amazing thing happened today, in fact i\'d class it as a minor miracle. After leaving the rex sat in all this lovely sunshine for almost 2 weeks, she started perfectly today, and is running spot on aswell, no white smoke, all temps fine and its as though nothing ever happened!. has the sun/dry weather just dried out a flooded engine? before she would\'nt even start yet alone be driveable so i\'m searching for explanations as to what happened?...:Party

exactly what you said mate, dried out. :Thumbs-up

sounds like it was only flooded! At the very least, get some new sparkplugs!

Whoa! hold on a minute, i may have been a bit hasty here. I took her out again today & got 200 yards down the street in second gear & she started to sound like the old VW beetles used to sound, i had no power whatsoever, so i coasted for around 10 seconds & then re-applied the accelerator & she burst back into life. all is fine til second gear is engaged, i don\'t know about 3rd 4th & 5th, too scared to take the car more than a mile away from home. Is this still the drying out process? all temps & fluids are spot on still. just guessing now, injectors?, plugs?,fuelling related?, ecu related?, bit sick of this emotional roller coaster now:confused:

Deffo sounds like you hit a puddle with all that rain..water splashed onto the block causing the steam...water splashed onto the plugs causing the cut out...and you flooded it when trying to start it with the wet plugs...i would deffo change those plugs mate then hopefully happy days:D
