That's just a wives tale...if anything that's probably what caused the flood. The '04s did have a problem with "warm" flooding...it happened to me after a very spirited run on some back country roads once. But if I were you I'd take it in to the dealership and make sure all the flashes have been installed. There is a flash out there that helps against flooding. My car has yet to flood since I got that flash and I've tried to flood it! HAHA!

I did the start stop.. ran the car for about 2 mins.. then I shut it off by 7K RPM and shut down.. Next day, didn't start (this morning).

Here are what the sparks look like..

I guess I'll head over to Trussville Mazda and see if they could flash my car before DGRR...
