I'm not a grease monkey myself. It's just that you don't make much sense. If you took some time to explain your situation and exactly what you want, then all would be a little more oblige. I hope your feelings weren't hurt.

The fuel pump is in the fuel tank. There are no injector fuses.

taking it a lil to serious, im not worried abuot putting the rims on, im worried abuot how much it's going to cost since im not under warranty and how im going to get to work this weekend, and yes I am dissappointed that I wasnt able to place my rims on my car today , but more that Im not able to drive...............and I apologize for asking about the fuel pump and injector fuses, I was thinking of somethen else when in relaity it was just the fuses in te fuse box for the fuel pump and fuel injector

I thought that Mazda does not recommend push starts for the flooding issue as it could cause damage to the catalytic converter.

He does have a good sense of humor, I guessed he would not have hung around after the first few replies to his post.

long story short, they de-flooded my car and threw in some new spark plugs and charged me 141 for everything, they said I need a new battery ASAP and refused to give me one under warranty, so imjust going to go to a different mazda dealership monday and have them place a new battery in there for me........and yea i did over react lol, I thought it was going to cost me like 4- 500 to get it fixed, my new rims are on and thas about all

It's the internet. Calm down.
hey what the hell is flooding anyway? How does it happen, and how is it prevented?
