Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for drying engine cylinders in situ responsive to engine flooding. In one example, a laser ignition device is operated in each engine cylinder, sequentially, while the cylinder is parked with an intake valve closed and an exhaust valve open. The heat generated by the laser operation vaporizes liquid fuel in the cylinder, which flows out of the cylinder via the open exhaust valve, expediting cylinder drying.

Claim (Index 17):
The system of  claim 16 , wherein holding the corresponding cylinder at the exhaust stroke TDC position includes rotating the unfueled engine via the electric motor to sequentially hold the corresponding cylinder at the exhaust stroke TDC position.
