Flooded engine
So my battery had died last week do to some ****** electrical problems I'm havin with the car. But when I was jumping the car trying to get it started I had been pumping te gas. So I'm assumin the car is flooded now because the battery is fully charged now and it just turns and turns but disnt start. I tried to start everyday for the past week and still nothing What should I check? And if it is flooded how could i fix that?

There is no "carburator pump" to flood the motors on these cars so most likely it is not flooded. If you think it is, crank the motor with the gas pedal to the floor. This is the "clear flood" mode. The motor will turn, the plugs will fire, but the injectors will not add fuel. This will rid the combustion chanber of excess fuel. You need to check if you have spark and fuel.

I presume that the clear flood mode also works on the C5?
