Just pull the fuse on S4's.
Putting oil in the spark plug hole to unflood is not a good idea.
That usally helps bring up engine compression (priming it)

One way I "unflood" a real bad flooded engine sometimes is,plull the 2 trailing plugs (top) move the sparkplug lines over... and then crank the engine,it might be a little loud.You will hear the enging's "whooshes" but ti will flood out the fuel,start it.. hold the key down for 5 secs,stop for a few secs and redo abotu 1or 2 times more.

Dry the plugs out,that you have taken out.with a cloth.. then reinstall.

Proper way to clean the carbon off the plugs is with a sparkplug cleaning machine..which I left at my dam job.But you can use sand paper (very fine bit) or a wire brush,and some carb cleaner or brake and parts cleaner.

Yeah my temp gague doesnt work, And the heater hose broke while i was driving and drained out all the collant. So it was just pretty much getting cooled by the fan alone, which oviously isnt enough if your going to be driving it. Luckly i was like a block from my house and we just tied a rope to it and pulled it with my dads truck home.

I havnt noticed any HP loss or anything or any other serious problems with the car since that happened. So im not too worried about it.
