Flooded engine (broken down)
So I broke down the other day, first time I have ever done so in the middle of a busy road.
Pulling out onto a main road, I saw a gap so gave it a bit of throttle, but then decided the gap was too small so I hit the brake. But the engine then died and wouldn't re-start. Luckily I was close to a garage so with their help I was pushed to there. Was told the engine was flooded and the plugs had to be removed and dried out. Is this likely to be a one off incident, because I accelerated and backed off quick, or is there likely to be a bigger problem somewhere? Note mine is an auto not a manual. Cheers.
