Question
the answer to my flooded 1995 Bmw 525i question was do you have spark.  If you are talking about ignition spark, then I don't think so.  When I turm the key, nothing happens, ignition wise.  The radio turns on, all the lights work, but I have silence when I turn the key.  What can i do?

Answer
With nothing happening I'm assuiming you mean the motor doesn't turn over either,you would hear that.And being flooded is this meaning under water?If so you need to remove the spark plugs and try to turn the motor over,it may be hydro-locked.Then the motor might turn over and the water expelled from the cylinders.After that dry or replace the plugs and change the oil and filters(oil and air)
