Car won't start

Unlikely it's flooded, but I did have a similar problem with my car, and replacing the temperature sensor fixed it.

Fuel injected engines don't need to be pumped before starting, if you do flooding can occur. Make a conscious effort NOT to touch the pedal until after you turn the key to the start position and the engine actually starts.

IS YOUR HAND BRAKE ON?IF NO, YOU HAVE A BRAKE PROBLEM.

common problem with those mods ,is evap purge valve would get stuck open,then after shutdown vapors from fuel supply sys would flood engine with excessive fuel vapor ,so when you go to start vehicle it would act like a flooded engine and take longer cranking before it starts,try holding gas pedal to floor after a 15 min shutdown and see if starts faster,i believe that purge valve is along the d/s of the engine block.

put foot flat to floor DONT pump the accelerater pedal turn on ignition turn over engine as soon as it starts take foot off pedal happy motoring..

Dont touch the gas pedal or it might flood and not start. Have someone spray a little starting fluid in the Air filter tube while you try to start it.

engine might be flooded remove spark plugs to see if they are wet with fuel pull fuel pump fuse crank eng over with plugs removssed to push fuel from cylinders dry plugs reinstall hold gas pedal to the floor while cranking untill engine starts

there can be a few things wrong.
1. do you press the gas pedal at all before you start? because that floods the engine
2. a clogged fuel filter can cause that to happen, it wont start the first few times you try it then it will after wards.
3. your fuel pump could be on its way out.
4. you might have starter problems

thats pretty much in order from cheapest (first one doesn't cost anything at all, just dont press the gas pedal) to most expensive
get it checked out, they wil know better when they see it and they'll be able to run some diagnostics

try this, if the car wont start push the pedal all the way to the floor and hold it ther while you crank. It sounds like you are flooding the car some how. Pushing the pedal to the floor puts the car into clear flood mode and it shuts off the fuel flow. try and see just a suggestion

AmyLynn001, 1st thing, let the car sit for a couple hours (because u smell gas, it's definitely flooded). Turn the key to start (do NOT touch the gas pedal!! Cars are designed now to start w/out touching the gas pedal. If u do, u will flood it, and make it even more difficult to start) When u turn the key, only hold it to turn the engine over for no more than 10 seconds. If after the 10 seconds it doesn't start, turn key off, wait about 10 seconds, repeat. (this is to reduce wear and tear on the starter, and to not run the battery down real quick). It sounds like several problems coming together caused this. U state that the car needs a tune up, it's likely the overheating, need of a tune up (car not performing to optimum efficiency) and pushing on the gas pedal, resulting in flooding, all came together to create this no start condition. Eliminate any one (preferably all!) and u should be able to start the car. So, hopefully just letting it sit and not touching the gas pedal while attempting to start will be enough to get u back on the road, then get that tune up soon. Let me know how u make out.
