Only wat to flood a LSx based computer controlled Fuel injected motor is if you have a wet nitros kit on and activate it w/out the nitrous or with it not running. Something dosen't sound right.....

No nitrous on my car....theyve done an honest and good job every other time ive used them....maybe the guy on the phone didnt know what he was talking about.
But he did say it'll be ready this afternoon for me to pick up so hope it isnt to serious if its another problem.

If they really flooded your engine I would be very concerned with all sorts of problems. Even just a second of running an engine flooded can destroy it. Just to cover yourself, make sure they put everything they did and everything that happened in writing......good luck!

I hope they didn't just take it out for lunch..... I had my 62 in for service once (in the good old days) and the mechanics got a ticket in it on their lunch hour. I didn't know about it for years. Good luck

First off, its impossible to flood a fuel injected engine unless you cyle the key a numerous amount of times without actually starting it. I would go to the shop & check out the car & see what the heck is going on. Sounds like your being hosed!
Good Luck!

Picked it up after a call and it seems to be fine. They charged me less than I was expecting so I didnt haggle price with them, even though they did charge me $40 to remove and clean the plugs...I never asked them too But its done and Im happy to have it back They also did take care of the noise that was driving me crazy so +1 for them

And the belt broke AGAIN coming home from class
Towed it back to the dealer.... 8 miles more on it than when I picked it up....
A guy from a camaro club pulled off and we THINK we found what it was rubbing on...
The dealer should only charge me for the independent tow this time correct?
That small bolt was ground down by the dealer because they thought that was causing the problems..but no
I removed this black intercooler support that the last owner put on and am thinking thats the problem..well see
