Got ignition switch fixed, but how to I fix flooded car?

The ignition switch to my 99 TL, was replaced by recall. But my car is flooded from trying to start it. What do I do to fix this?

My car is idled high. Its a 99' Acura TL. Took it to a dealer.

The part- Idle Air Control Valve

Before you replace it, you may want to take off the existing one and spray the gunk inside it off with some carb cleaner. Many work fine after this is done

Or you can try ebay or rockauto. Com. Ordered from them before. Prices are really good.

Have you done any troubleshooting yourself? Have you looked at the throttle body. A bad idle valve will usually give an erratic idle. Not just a high idle. Check the tension on your throttle cables.
