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 19):
The system of  claim 16 , wherein the sequentially drying includes selecting a sequence for drying each of the plurality of cylinders based on one or more of cylinder misfire count, output from a fuel injector diagnostic routine, a first cylinder of the plurality of cylinders selected to be earlier in the sequence responsive to a higher misfire count and/or indication of a leaking fuel injector of the first cylinder, a second cylinder of the plurality of cylinder selected to be later in the sequence responsive to a lower misfire count and/or indication of a functional fuel injector of the second cylinder.
