I changed the LIM in my 06 Grand Prix and my car wouldn't start, turns out from trying too much and having one leaky injector I flooded the engine. I disconnected all the spark plug wires and removed the front 3 plugs and attempted to turn the car over until all the fluid was removed. Put everything back together (replaced bad injector) and it started right up. Hope that helps
