Won't start
2001 will not start, on advise from forum, pulled the plugs, put a little oil in cylinders, put in new plugs....still will not start, short of taking it to the dealer what else might the problem be, it has 39K on it and no problem for the last two years.

RE: Won't start
try manually holding the throttle plate open (clear the flooded condition). I assume you spun the engine overafter puttingthe oil in the cylinders, before you put the NEW plugs in....

RE: Won't start
unless you are missing fuel pressure... fast check is to put a pressure guage on.. or you can just push in the shrader valve and see if fuel pissess out but be careful.. will spray if you have good fuel pressure. but not a 100 % good test. if good it still can be flooded.. if you have time just let it air out sometimes they can be really flooded.. and sometimes you can just pull the fuel pump relay and when it starts to fire plug it back in.
