flooded
Well girlfriend flooded car after moving it out of her way.
Would not start No-way
After looking on this site i was able to find a sollution.
Hooked up a battery charger, held pedal to the floor and cranked maybe 6 or 8 times. Released pedal and attempted to start. did try to catch. well long story short after about 45 minutes and 2 or 3 attemps like above car started with a big cloud of white smoke and no problems afterwords.
Thanks to this site it probably saved me a wrecker fee and a couple hundred at the stealer to get it started again.
thanks again to this site and all it's info

Dealer did the same thing to mine after they flooded it.
The starters on these cars must be made of kryptonite, no way a v8 starter would last that long, it would just melt.

glad that worked. I did what you did the time my old rx8 flooded, and it worked, but not without blowing smoke out the rear and stinking like all hell. I had some close calls with flooding, and getting stranded, but I simply revved the engine up and turned off the ignition to let the excess fuel burn, and after that flooding wasn't an issue, but you always gotta warm it up, or the risk is there. Like a time bomb waiting to go off.
