why does a car flood out when you start it?

Answer 1

Too much fuel getting into the ignition.

If it keeps doing it, you might want to take it to a place for a tune-up.

Answer 2

The main reason newer cars flood out is usually because the engine is not burning off the fuel already in the piston. This could be caused by faulty wirering or bad spark plugs, ignition modual bad or coil packs bad. The sensors could also be bad. A plugged up air filter can also cause this problem. On older cars, carburated engines, there are a number of reasons. It all depends on the age of the car. Points, wires, plugs, coil, carburators, condensers. Any could be the cause. The chole could be choking all the time. The needle and seat in the carburator could be bad.

Answer 3

All cars biult within at least that last 15 years are fuel injected. This means that the engine will control the amount of fuel delivered as it needs it. If it's flooding, one of two things, either you are pressing the gas when you are starting it up (stop doing that!) or the engine contrllers are not seeing the fuel being delivered and therefore keeps asking for more. Possible faulty sensor or even computer.

Answer 4

New cars don't flood out, only the older ones with carbs

Answer 5

gasoline burns when it is a vapor, and if too much fuel gets in the cylinders, it condenses and cannot burn. Only older cars with carbs flooded. New fuel injected cars do not have this problem.

Answer 6

Because you have a secret fear of the car engine that causes you to piss all over the car.

Answer 7

Having a defective check valve will cause it to flood.
Have your mechanic check it out.
