Clear Flood Mode

[NibbanaBanana]

Greetings Oil Men,

Do all modern cars have "clear flood mode"? That is, full accelerator plus brake, engine cranks but doesn't start.

Thanks.

All computer controlled. It will let in the right amount of fuel for the temperatures. You'd not want to put the pedal to the floor on a modern car.

I would hesitate to say "all" because there's one car out there that will take off, LOL.

But many do.

To fantastic: I don't think you got the question correctly. The question wasn't about starting an engine.

This has come up as it is good to know. I first heard of this when I read about my 2005 Ford Ranger.
Pumping up oil-pressurized timing chain tensioners (pre-oiling in general) was another use for CFE mode.
One member mentioned a vehicle which does not have Clear Flooded Engine mode, and I recently encountered one but didn't note it.

No. Clear flood mode does NOT work with ALL vehicle, only some.

Thanks. Just to be safe, I'll find another way. And not learn the hard way.

I think you're right. Thanks
Perhaps there are some vehicles that, when put in this Clear Flood Mode, they'll stop pumping more fuel into the engine.

On my car I pull the fuel injection fuse if I want to crank it without starting.

Just did that. Look in the owners manual. Find the fuel pump fuse. Pull it. Crank away.

Go have a cup of Joe and a bagel. Come back 30 min later. That should clear a flooded engine.

I thought all modern engines would not pump fuel to the injectors if you cranked while having the accelerator at 100%.

Flood mode is discount the ignition coil power, pull all spark plugs and crank it.
