OK so I finally got my car runningn decent since I got my injectors back from cleaning. I figured since I got them cleaned and leak tested I figured I would stop having my engine flooding. But now my car is flooding like real bad to where I can get it started again after I turn it off. Could it be low compression or what, any iput would help.

The most common reason for you type of flooding is this.
one moring you moved you car maybe a few feet down the driveway and put it in park and turned the engine off. the next morning you try to start it and you flood it. And no matter what you do you keep flooding the engine.
its the ECu thats casues the problem. the warm process has started in the mind of the ECU running you super rich( the 4000rpm spike) and since you did not lett it warm up it still thinks its could be pumping lots of gas.
whats the solution easy.
1unflood the engine
2put some oil into the spark plugs wholes
3 turn it over a few more times with.
4unplug your ecu wait about a minute plug it back in
5. few cranks and you should have it.
it sucks but next time let you car warm up before turning off the car.
also get compression numbers anything below 90 psi on each face of 120psi combined meand bad sealing and in need of a engine.

the turbo2 and the rx8 are so sensitive to flooding if theres anything wrong, it wont start. you need to make sure you have NO vacuum leaks and NO crossed vacuum hoses. on mine it would flood hot starting about 70% of the time, turned out i had the acv vacuum lines swapped in the back, fixed it and it wanted to start hot.
