Hey guys,
I went to try your suggestion this morning however it now the car will not start.
I hear the starter motor winding, and the car is trying to get ignition, it kind of half gets the ignition but then dies and just keeps winding. I suspected maybe my engine was flooded so i pulled out the sparkplugs and sure enough they were completely black and covered in carbon, i cleaned them off.
I have been doing some reading in other threads etc, if my engine is indeed flooded, i'm sure by now it would of been with all that trying to start it. Should i put everything back together, re-seat all of my intercooler piping (making sure the insides are all clean before i do so) then try and start it with a WOT? From what i have read this will burn up all excess fuel in the engine.
Then let the car idle for 10mins (battery has been disconnected for like 8 hours or so).
Am i missing anything from this plan of attack?
I do greatly appreciate all your help.
PS: I think i found the original problem though, it was one of the seals connected directly to the SMIC, it didn't appear to be fastened properly
