Default Car is flooding to easy!!!!

My question is what can cause my mustang to flood? It will flood and than it doesn't want to crank. What I have been doing the last day or so is reaching under the set and disconnecting the fuel relay. Once I disconnect it I try starting it with it disconnected until it trys to crank or cranks and than I replace the fuel relay. My second question is I have a power dyne supercharger on my mustang with a 9 lb pulley on it. What should I have my spark plugs set at and what should my fuel pressure be set at

im not real sure i get how you know what you are flooding or what is goin on exactly, but something to perhaps try.
when you start the car (or attempt to), if you floor the gas pedal, the injectors wont pulse. it is for a flooded condition. might be worth playing with to help you diagnose your problem.

if you are sure you are flooding, are you sure your injectors are not running after the car is off (bad EEC relay, bad FP relay, EEC issues)?

if not that, what happens if you back your FP way down? im not good with blowers on stangs (i have a turbo background, but not blowers).
just some ideas.......good luck.

Were these new regulators or had you had them for a while?

Thanks Guys I will change my regulator tomorrow morning and I will let you know how it goes. The one on my car is new now. I haven't put 5 miles on the car since i put the motor in it. But I have bought parts before and they not work or just be bad.


Thanks

Yea, if you have alot of fuel in the oil, change it before you fire it.

It will eat the bearings
