[quote=”13aceofspades13″ post=97589]good thinking eric! that is also a possibility, if your engines coolant temperature sensor is bad than the engine may be trying too set too rich a mixture for cold starts… but not bad enough too set a code!
so there are the three things that could be causing your possible flooding condition
leaky fuel injector
bad fuel regulator
faulty coolant temp sensor.[/quote]I really appreciate all the suggestions. I’ll borrow a friend’s (former mechanic) scanner and get the real time temp readings, and go from there.

Thanks for the suggestions. Does anyone know if the procedure for checking the fuel pressure is similar to my Jeep? On that, I just have a schrader valve that I hook up a simple gauge to, but when I bought the tester, the instructions said it wouldn’t work on all GM vehicles.
I’ve tried to find a place online to buy a PDF version of a FSM for the Olds, so I can get all of the correct testing procedures, but the first two websites I tried to buy it from, tried to download other crap on to my computer, so I haven’t pursued it any further. Not a huge fan of the Haynes manuals, as the one for my Jeep was lacking a lot of what I was looking for. But, maybe it will suffice for the basic testing procedures I’ll need for my wife’s vehicle.
