Clear Flood Mode (Port and TBI Injection)

1988 Chevrolet G 30 Van V8-305 5.0LSECTION Clear Flood Mode (Port and TBI Injection)

A flooded engine is cleared by fully depressing the accelerator pedal, which causes the ECM to pulse the injectors at a air/fuel ratio of 20:1. The ECM will maintain this air/fuel ratio as long as the throttle is wide open and engine RPM is less than 600. If throttle position becomes less than 80% of wide open throttle, the ECM returns to "Starting Mode".
