Go to start it in the morning, won’t go. Call AAA, get towed, miss my spot, come to find out that driving it that short a time flooded my engine. So I don’t recommend it.


No. Cars are started and stopped like this all the time without mishap. You got ripped off.



No, you idiot, that’s exactly what happened. It was a cold winter night, I flooded the engine. Here’s an explanation for you. https://www.driverknowledgetests.com/resources/flooded-engine/


Before you start calling people names, maybe realize that this isn't really an issue with fuel injected engines. How old was the car you apparently flooded?

If it was merely flooded it would have started by the time tow truck arrived.

Battery needs to be perky to start at low temps. If your car has difficulty starting, you need to charge your own car battery or get a new battery. Not talking about electric vehicles, just regular ones.

Somewhere I got the notion that if I run my car a bit now, like 15 minutes, it will start easier in the morning when the temperature is 5-10 degrees colder. Does that make sense?
