    1998 Honda Civic EX 1.6 SOHC
    Car is "Flooding" after warmed up and sits for at least 30 minutes. Tried pulling plugs as soon as it fires (usually second or two) and the same plugs are not always wet. Sometimes 1 & 3, next time 2,3,4. If leaky injector I would think the same ones would always be wet.
    Replaced: ECU temperature sensor, Rotor, Cap, Coil, Plug wires - All aftermarket, not OEM.
    This issue surfaced after radiator blew antifreeze on motor. Replaced radiator, thermostat & bleed air. Has used no coolant in 300 miles. Temperature gauge is rock solid at about 40%.
    Ideas other than bringing to a car crusher?
    Thanks, Dave

    The wet plugs indicates that the ignition system is compromised. The most likely culprit is the Ignition Control Module (ICM), if it has not been replaced in 125,000 miles or 10 years. If you decide to replace it, be sure to apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM, otherwise it won't last long.
