I've flooded my 2004 6sp once, not long after I got it. We returned from vacation and I moved it from the garage to the front of the house so we could unpack without being cramped; lesson learned.

This morning I went to start it and it really wanted to, just never turned over. I gave it just a little gas as I do not want to have it towed again and pay to have it deflooded. It never clicked like a typical battery probelm. I had our charger on it for a couple hours earlier but took it off to charge alone overnight. I just tried to jump with my husband's corvette but it didn't take. Lights are good, dashboard comes to life, radio turns on. Did I flood it?

Few things to know:
The starter was just replaced 9 months ago.
I turned off AC, radio, door lights before attempting to charge/jump.
It wasn't driven Thurs night through Mon morning when I tried to start it.
I love this car but am finding it to be a money draining diva.

Thoughts?

how long did it sit from when you moved it, to when you tried to start it this morning? did you stall it perhaps, or shut it off in its warmup stages?

I parked it in the garage Thursday afternoon after, at least, an hour drive. Didn't touch it the rest of Thurs, Fri, Sat or Sun. This morning it never actually started so it didn't stall or get turned off early.

Interesting, it couldnt have flooded from thurs, cause it would have all evaporated by this morning. Try going out, pushing the accelerator all the way to the floor board. Believe it or not, that actually stops fuel from entering into the engine. and try cranking it for at least 10 seconds, then try to start it normally.

If that doesnt work, my guess would be the spark plugs, or coil; something of that matter

This is going to sound dumb but what's the difference between cranking it and starting it normally?

not much really, i just mean hold it there for 10 seconds before you stop. Like turn the key, count to 10, then take your foot off the accelerator, and try to start it up like you would any other day.
