Clear Flood Mode

Clear Flood Mode
Clear a flooded engine by pushing the accelerator pedal down all the way. The ECM then de-energizes the fuel injectors. The ECM holds the fuel injectors de-energized as long as the throttle remains above 80% and the engine speed is below 800 RPM. If the throttle position becomes less than 80%, the PCM again begins to pulse the injectors "ON" and "OFF," allowing fuel into the cylinders.
