Flooded engine 200

In the simplest terms this means there is more fuel then the engine needs,
in fact so much fuel that the engine doesn't have enough O2 to ignite it.

Causes are multiple but all come down to the same thing,
the fuel delivery system is broken.

I have seen on this board that the Fuel Pressure Regulator fails
with some frequency causing fuel to flow through the vacuum line
directly into the intake manifold.

other options include leaky injector(s)...check for one wet plug

bad AMM...I think you unplug it and see if the car runs better
(Turn the Car Off BEFORE you unplug/re-plug th unit)

I don't know if a bad Temp sensor will throw the mixture off enough
to flood the engine but it will certainly screw up the mixture.
The brain thinks the engine is cold...like a stuck choke which has flooded
previous cars of mine.

Bad Brain
