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

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

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.
