    unflooding fuel injected engine

    I have a 98 Nissan Sentra SE. Last year it would not start one time.
    This year the same thing happened one time. Every other time, it
    started immediately. My mechanic cannot find anything wrong (because it
    is so intermittent).

    Each time, the engine ended up flooded and was very difficult to start
    because of this (although I'm not sure if this is what kept the engine
    from starting in the first place, or just a result).

    How does one unflood a fuel-injected engine if it gets flooded?

    Find the fuel pump fuse/relay and remove it. Then crank the engine with the
    throtle wide open. If it's really flooded, when it clears out enough of the
    fuel it should pop off. Then replace the fuse relay and off you go.

    Worst case you might have to pull the plugs, disable the ignition and blow
    the fuel out that way and install some new plugs.

    Usually you can just hold the throttle wide-open and crank the engine until
    it starts.
