Long turnover after a stall

[brad259]

Basically I stalled my car earlier coming out of a car park :boring: And it took about 15-20seconds for it to get going again. Anyone have a idea why it took so long to start again?

flooded slightly

Never expected that for an answer anyway I can prevent this again? apart from not stalling again

Not really, it's just excess fuel in the engine as the fuel will have kept pumping for a split second when you stalled and you just need to keep cranking to clear that fuel out before it will start.

Slowly off the clutch, bit of gas and away you go.

Hold revs at 4k rpm then let your foot off the clutch aggressively
