the engine turning over is not a starter problem
flooding is , broken timing belt is , no fuel pressure is , no fuel in the tank is
have the fault codes read to determine the fault
There is no sound to flooding & there is no vapor lock in over 30 years, since all vehicles are fuel injected & the fuel either continually flows back to the tank or deadheads to fuel rail & is used
You either have fuel pressure or it is too low or not there or pump drains down when turned off
You obviously need a good battery,spark plugs & functioning ignition system (spark)
Will have to be tested to see what your missing
Could be you have a stored code if the electronics are checked first.
You need to provide a vehicle,year,make,engine,etc & some detail of any problems,plus any testing done
Won't Start --- won't get you an answer or a quess
It takes 3 things for a car to run... spark, fuel, and air. Sounds like you should be looking for a problem with the air, IF it is getting spark and fuel. Food for thought.
if its turning over real fast it could be flooded if not u need 2 check cambelt has not striped or broken 2 check cam belt remove dizzy cap&make sure rotor is turning when motor is cranked over
sounds like it might be flooded. Try and remove the fuel pump fuse from the fuse block that is just in front of your left knee. While it is out crank the car and see if it wants to start and hold down the gas pedal all the way and then relase it and back and forth and once you get it to run have the fuse ready in your hand and in front of the spot to install it. and then keep the rpm's up with the gas pedal until the smoke clears out behind the car.
It sounds like what you fried is the diodes on the alternator. You are probably due for a new alternator. On the bright side, it's much cheaper than the computer.
Sounds like a faulty starter solenoid. Some of these solenoids supply ignition power during start up. If you're bypassing it, you wont be getting any spark and therefore flooding the engine. Replace the solenoid.
