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 6):
The method of  claim 4 , further comprising selecting the first cylinder and an order of the sequentially operating the corresponding laser ignition device coupled to each remaining cylinder of the engine based on one or more of a torque output of each cylinder of the engine, and output of an on-board fuel injector diagnostic routine.
