I believe my 1999 Chevrolet Express 1500 starting problem is it is flooded.

Is there a quick way to clear out the gas, flooding the engine ?

Some people recommend pushing the gas pedal to the floor and try starting.

Then the engine starts to sound sluggish and stops turning over.

Is that how a flooded engine acts ?

Thanks

If it is flooded holding pedal to floor shuts injector pulse off puts it in a clear flood mode.
If battery is up good that should not slow down engine cranking.
Charge up battery or give it a jump.

Are you sure it is flooded?
Pull spark plug and see if wet on the end.
And check for spark at same time.
Post back what you find there and how it goes.
