Starting engine while flooded

[FDguy]

Doesn't answer your questions but I usually pull the plugs out and crank it with the fuel pump fuse out.

Another thing I do is a hold the gas pedal to the floor and crank a few times. Now this is on an FD I don't if this will work on the FC

Pull BOTH the "EGI" and "BTN" fuses.
What these does is kill power to the stock ECU and coils.
If you pull just the EGI fuse, there's a 50 / 50 chance the rear coils will stop firing and reward you with a dead tach.
Annoying.
When you pull both the fuses, this prevents this from happening.

Do you mean the EGI COMP. or the EGI INJ. fuse?

Oops, yeah, that sounds better.

Sorry, I haven't run a stock ECU in ages.
Mines runs a Haltech E8 now.

The pedal to the floor trick only works on an S5, not an S4
