Is it possible to flood a diesel engine the same way you can flood a gas engine?
I was leaving IKEA yesterday (of course i shop at IKEA in my VW, its verry yuppyish). My car started fine, drove for about 10 seconds then puutered out and died (It wasnt the immobilizer). The engine would turn but wouldnt catch for a few minutes, but finally started (but very roughly, and low idle). I checked under the hood and it looked like there was air going through the fuel line from the filter but I'm not sure. After it ran for a bit it smartened up and ran fine since.
Not quite sure what happened? Any thoughts out there? /images/graemlins/confused.gif
