Oh, and tell the shop not to start your car unless they will let it get up to operating temperature. Then it wont flood.

i forgot to say anything about letting it run when they start it. they wont do it but i will tell them anyways. im going up there tomorrow and i will try to start it. where is the egi fuse at??

The egi fuse is under the hood in the fuse thing( cant think of a word for it). Its on the side with the battery atached to the strut tower. Its a black box.

ok its in the main fuse block. if it sits overnight with no one messing with it should it get unflooded?

NO!



you have a 89-91 all you have to do is floor the gas pedal it cuts fuel. if its really really flooded. pull egi fuses and crank it like 10 times for 5 seconds... then reinstall fuse should start right up. i bet there is a gallon of gas in the engine https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

thanks man. i dont know if i should take your advice bc you know so much or not bc your car isnt running!! hehe jk i know youre the god

btw, letting a rotary sit after it's flooded is not a good idea, get that puppy started asap. or you're gonna have to pour some MMO or 2 stroke oil into the spark plug holes and crank it a bit to get some oil in there, if it's gonna have to sit for a while.



otherwise you will likely have corrosion problems, the flooding will wash away all the lubricating/protective oil.

ERIK has the right idea!!

that problem is common on 2nd gen RX-7's. It's caused by the car getting started while cold and shut off before the engine has a chance to warm up.

ok i tried the flooded thing and it didnt work. would it make any difference that the bumper is not on the car??

it shouldnt, i would try one more time, and then put some oil in there
