    Default FIRST PROBLEM, FLOODING

    I just got my car cranked up for the first time yesterday, drove it around all night trying to break it in and it drove great. well this morning i go out to leve and i crank it and its hardcore skipping so i figure a plug is going bad, then it stalls. then i crank it again and it stalls again sputtering. now i cant even turn it over. I pulled the plugs and cyl number 2 is flooded with gas, i can shake the car and see if puddled up. So obviously its washed away the oil on the cylinder wall. How can i get that gas out of there and pour some oil down in there to relubricate the damn wall?!!?! Its crazy this happens after my friends supra engine had an injector stick lastnight and the motor locked up just like this, he turned it over by hand a few turns and then it cranked, i can turn mine over by hand too. I dont wanna turn it over anymore till i get that fuel out and something in there to lubricate.

    pull the plugs and turn the engine over... that'll pump out the gas (might wanna stick a rag there too). for good measure leave it open for a bit to dry out a little more but it's not required. then the easiest way to oil up the cylinder walls is by spraying WD40 down into the sparkplug hole and letting it soak a little while to lube and get rid of any excess gas still left. after that start it up and you should be good to go. i've seen the same done on hydrolocked motors that ran great after it was completed so i'm sure it would work with fuel as well.

    If there is excessive gas in the cylinder and you don't want to turn it over to blowout the gas you can always suck it out. small shopvac, fish tank airpump supply hose, and duct tape, stick the smaller hose in the shovac line and duct tape it to seal of the diff. in size. sounds ghetto I know but you would get all the gas out before moving the piston in the cylinder, then like HipSi said spray WD 40 in the plug hole but you'll need a longer stem to make sure that you get it on the walls instead of puddling it on top of the piston.

    Best of Luck bro.
