Help me start my SVX!
Hi everyone!
It was -40 degree this morning. The car doesnt want to start because of the cold weather and after 5-10minutes of trying everything to make it start, a gas smell was hanging around. I'm pretty sure that I gas flooded my engine. It really dont want to start. Is there anyway to burn that gas and make the car start? Maybe removing the injector fuse or wathever.. I was looking for that fuse but I can't find it. Please help me with that one, I can't miss work tomorrow too.. Thanks!

unplug the fuel pump and give it a few turns (try to start it)
plug the connector back in with the car off... after 10 minutes come back and snap the air filter house open, spray starting fluid into the intake tube and reseal the the air box. Start her up and give a little bit of gas for a minute until it holds idle

If you have a block heater in yours, plug it in.

Many thanks for the reply guys..
Yes I have a block heater, I just plug it like you told me. As for the gas pump, do I need to go under the back seat and unplug the wire that goes to the gas tank? Is there any gas pump fuse in the engine bay? That would be easyer.. Thanks again!

I would recommend keeping it plugged in on -40 nights, even -20 nights.
