Moved car last night and shut it off. Tried it this morning and it cranks but will not start. This has happened before; think it has something to do with not keeping the car running which I was told is an issue with this car. Last time it happened we had to tow the car and the Infiniti dealer reset the AAC valve which was out of range. They also changed the oil and filter because the car was flooded. I found the AAC valve but do not know what to do with it to "reset" it. Any help will be appreciated.

You must leave it run for at least a couple of minutes (when it has some heat ) Flooding is very hard on the engine, and the starter.holding the pedal to the floor keeps more gas from being pumped into it while cranking, thereby clearing the flood faster.
