To my knowledge turning over is when the car actually starts and the engine is running. Cranking is when the engine tries to start but can't. Before today it would just crank and crank but now it is starting. The idle is very bad and like I said, it does sound like a dirt bike. Hope this helps.

I don't think it was flooded because I drove the car home and shut off the engine. After that, I tried to start it again and nothing....this all happened on Februay 19th. After a week and a half of leaving the car alone, I was thinking today and just stared at it and thoughts came to mind and I finally got it started! But to answer your question...I don't think the engine was flooded because it was sitting almost a month. And I've read all the threads about the B14's and no start issues and followed the procedure to clear the ECU from flooding or whatever...

Thanks!
