    flooded engine

    with the install of the bigass injectors, i have flooded the engine a bit. I havent been able to get the car to crank in 2 days now and am getting desperate. can i remove the spark plugs and the fuel pump relay and crank the car to remove any fuel sitting in the cylinders?

    just remove the plugs and let it air itself out....

    you have to be retardedly flooded to not be able to start for that long.

      You can also clean off the tips of the spark plugs with some 600 sand paper.

          Why in god's name were you running 30# injectors on a motor making 4 lbs of boost?
