Q
how do i know if my engine is flooded
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
A flooded engine occurs when too much fuel and not enough air are present, preventing the engine from starting. Key indicators include a strong gasoline smell, difficulty starting the engine especially after several attempts, and a sputtering noise when trying to start. Modern fuel-injected engines are less prone to flooding compared to older carbureted types. If you suspect a flooded engine, wait a few minutes before trying again, allowing excess fuel to dissipate. You can also try starting the car with the gas pedal pressed to the floor, signaling the engine control unit to cut the fuel flow, which may help in clearing the excess fuel. Always ensure proper maintenance to prevent issues like this.
