I Can't Vote, My 850 Won't Start !!!

Non-turbo 1995:
Turns over fine, diagnostic code (in socket 2) says:
3-3-5 which Haynes describes as: Request for malfunction indicator
lamp from automatic transmisssion ECU.

Help me start & get to the polls, please!
Thanks,
Jay

Depends, are you a democrat or republican?

After a lot of coaxing & repeated starting tries, it finally caught
and I ran off to do several hours worth of errands - stop start all
running and starting perfectly. Code now reads 1-1-1. Why did this
come about? The day before, I started my baby, backed into the
driveway & turned it off. Then after cleaning out the garage, I
started it up & drove it back in. Maybe something in the fuel delivery
which acted up because I never let it run for more than 20 seconds
both times?

By the way, LONG lines at the polls & yes, I voted for the best man
for the job.

Ah ... a write-in vote for John McCain!

You've answered your own question. Engine was flooded with fuel from the two
short runs. This is very common on the 850, especially the 20v's which run
very rich at cold start and will easily flood.

Tim..

Thanks, Tim.
