Lesley is one of those ladies that you know who is of the age that learned to drive in the days of carburetors and rear wheel drive. She knows you've got this Oldsmobile and has told you she used to drive one just loved it. She wants to borrow it. You tell her that it runs a little rough and sometimes stalls. She tells you that "she can handle it" and asks if you want to see. You watch her shapely foot and leg work the gas pedal as she tried to warm the car up by lightly revving, but runs into trouble when the carburetor loads up and she has to struggle to keep it running and then to get it to start again. Lesley talks to the car and you can tell she's not happy as she tries to impress you with this balky engine.

Q&A: VIEWER ASKED; BOBBY ANSWERED!
Question: Bobby, I live in southern California, and we have been pelted by heavy rain. We’re lucky that our house didn’t flood, but our car isn’t so fortunate. Is there anything we can do to revive our vehicle’s engine? Josh Los Angeles, CA ************* Answer: Josh, We’ve had the same flood situation on the Gulf Coast, so we know all too well what you’re experiencing. Here’s my best advice re approach to restoring your engine after flood water intrusion. Keep in touch and let me know how your vehicle does...and how you and your family are faring! 1. Cover air intake with plastic bag secured by twine or big rubber band. Understand the upper part of the intake inlet is not held down so you'll want to try to secure the plastic just below the "hat" or uppermost spacer ring that locates the air filter top. 2. Blow air box from the direction of the engine towards the front of the vehicle, making sure you create as much pressure so as to blow debris out front end. 3. Blow all debris from engine, radiator, belt pulleys, spark plug & wires, distributor cap, and small pockets where debris (and old dirt) might be. 4. Wash engine compartment thoroughly using Dawn liquid detergent. Best to protect your hands with gloves and take care not to pull any wires loose...really should be easy. 5. Blow dry. 6. Re wash and dry if/as necessary. 7. Drain oil...remove filter...leave oil plug out for now. 8. Remove all spark plugs (discard). 9. Remove plastic cover from intake body. 10. Connect battery. Turn key to "run" position -- NOT to "crank" position to see if the dash lights work and take a look under the hood for any wires that could short and burn. Hopefully, the alternator stator (internals) won't have shorted. 11. Spin motor over 2-3 second durations watching to see if water blows out of the plug holes. Do this 3 times watching to see what blows out of plug holes. 12. Install new oil filter (pre-fill) making sure to clean surface where oil filter o-ring seals / pre-oil the o-ring as well. Install 4 quarts oil. No need to use more as this batch is sacrificial and you probably will not drive the vehicle at this time. 13. Churn time! Using an oil can with a few feet of vacuum hose pushed onto the oil can nozzle... slip the hose into each cylinder and pump the can no less than 5 pumps-per-Cyl, except for the ones that immediately pour oil back out (this means that cylinder's piston is at top dead center and there's no room for oil). Move on to next cylinder. 14. After all 8 cylinders have been pre-oiled, turn starter motor (as above) using 2-3 short cranks so as to splash oil all pistons and cylinder walls. 15. Go back and pre-oil those cylinders that did not hold oil initially. Ultimately, you could crank the starter over 5 to 6 times to make sure all cylinders have been sufficiently oiled. NOW...crank the engine over for 3 seconds one final time to push all liquid oil out. Do not pump any more oil into cylinders. 16. Install plugs. Make sure each plug wire snaps onto plug and if any are corroded, spray electrical cleaner into wire socket and push onto plug. 17. Crank engine and let run for 30 minutes.

Three views of Tara's continued cranking, pumping, revving the stalling Oldsmobile. You see from behind the driver, from the outside (exterior), and the over the shoulder passenger view. - 1st up is sitting directly behind Tara or looking through the back window perspective where you can see her body motion while working the gas pedal and hear her react to the car. - 2nd view is outside as Tara checks again under the hood and you watch her with the driver side door open. You not only get to see her legs as she is outside the car but you can see her shapely left leg and her right foot working that big gas pedal. You can clearly see her smoking a cigarette. 3rd view is from the passenger seat for those that like to watch her right leg bobbing, her hand on the ignition, and her foot on the gas while also talking to herself and the car. Tara continues to try to find the right combination of gas pedal pumping, holding the pedal to the floor, and coaxing with her leopard patterned flat to keep the engine running. Even with all of the styles there is something that keeps her from being able to fully clear the flooded engine out. Tara lights up a cigarette and takes deep drags to keep herself calm and as she realizes that she is going to be here for a bit to get the Delta 88 started. If only they would have left the other car for her!

Pedal Pumping Tara We continue with Tara attempting to get the Oldsmobile Delta 88 Custom Cruiser started. From the driver's side you can see Tara trying a variety of gas pedal pumping techniques to get the Oldsmobile to react and start. You can see from the exhaust pipe that Tara has the engine seriously flooded. After a bit she gets out to check under the hood and highlighting again her shapely legs. Tara is almost successful when she tries again but the stubborn Olds will not cooperate. Tara lights a cigarette to smoke to calm herself. We watch Tara's urgency start to increase in getting the car to start.
