If by flooded, you mean with fuel, there are two solutions. One is to leave the engine alone for a while (an hour or so should be plenty long). The other is to hold the gas pedal on the floor (do not pump it) while starting the engine until the engine starts. Give the starter a break periodically, don't crank for more than 45 seconds continuously or damage can occur to the starter.

If by flooded, you mean with water, it would depend on how long and what kind of water is involved. Repair could be as simple as flushing the engine, or as complicated as a total rebuild.

Fixing flooded engine?

I had problems on occasion with my first car (1979 Pontiac Firebird) having the engine flooded. (When starting, I "pumped" the gas alot, quite often "flooding the engine".) Naturally, a flooded engine is (darned near) impossible to start. But the "quick fix" I found was to hold the pedal to the floor while turning the ignition. It was eventually able to start and burn the excess gas. Note: This trick only works on carbureted models. So in nutshell: Floor it, turn the ignition. (And try not to pump the gas so much before you start it next time!!!) -Ric
