My 2001 Jimmy has some kind of intermittent starting problem -- it cranks and cranks and won't start and gets flooded when doing that. I took out a spark plug and it was wet enough to sling drops of gas on the ground. So I propped open the throttle butterfly with the handle of a screwdriver and left it open like that all morning. So after about 6 hours I came back and it started up. Not every cylinder dried up, because I'm sure some cylinders had both valves closed, but enough of them dried out to allow the engine to start. Weather was warm, 80-90 degrees, so your mileage may vary. If this were a cold climate I would probably have pulled out as many spark plugs as I could and dried them out. Spark plugs are a bear to get to though.

What causes a 1999 sierra 5 3 liter to hard start only if its been setting the right amount of time sets short time starts good sets long time starts good maybe fuel regulator?
I had exactly the same problem with my 1996 Dodge Intrepid. The fuel pressure regulator was leaking which caused flooding of the engine if the engine were off for the right length of time. Too short and the engine did not have time to flood. Too long and the fuel evaporates and engine is no longer flooded. Just right and the engine is flooded and hard to start.

How do you get a 1999 Mazda Miata to start after driving through a deep puddle that flooded the engine compartment?
BE CAREFUL! Does the engine crank? ** IF it doesn't, the air intake may have sucked up water and locked the compression cylinders hydrolically. IF it doesn't crank, pull the plugs out and try to crank the engine so that it pumps out the water. Replace the plugs and try to start again.** **IF it does, it just may need to dry out.**
