Clear Flood Mode

If the engine is flooded with fuel during starting and will not start, the Clear Flood Mode can be manually selected. To select Clear Flood Mode, push the accelerator to Wide-Open Throttle (WOT). With this signal, the ECM will reduce fuel flow to the injectors and will maintain this stage as long as the ECM indicates a WOT condition with engine speed at less than 1000 RPM.
