No. One way to try and unflood is to put the pedal to the floor while cranking to try and start it. This is usually after it has flooded. Pull the spark plugs, pull the fuel pump fuse, crank for 5 seconds at a time until the mist is gone, clean/dry plugs, put pump fuse back in and fire it up. Never hurts to squirt a little oil in the plug holes while they are out

oh my bad, i forgot to come back here and post, i got to excited once i fired up my car that i went out and just now got home, it's 2:23 am lol. but uh, the reason i had to get spark pugs is because in one of them the little glass/porcelain thing that surrounds the ignition rod on the plugs was broken and i believe it was arching the spark or something lol, but i got the new plugs i only turned the key when the plugs were out (never took the fuel pump fuse out tho ) but then i cleaned all the stuff around the plug holes installed new plugs and fired right up, still smoking from where it had all that seafoam lol, thank you guys, once again. this site is the ****!!!!!!!.

no mine were the cheap autolites. and only one of them was broken, all the other 3 were almost perfect besides the little carbon build-up. i had those plugs for about 2 years, and my car's a dd. if that's what's wrong with your car, then it should be very simple lol. good luck.
