i have had it, before i sell it, i have to get it started. my 84 SE is flooded again, this time it wont start, i think i have a fuel injector stuck open.

this is what i have done, took all sparks out and cranked for a bit.

noticed the tack would bounce so not leading ignitor.

left the car sit for a day or two now its been 1 week with the sparks out still no start.

this would happen every 2 months, i would put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in.

i give up, i need help.

 

My -SE has flooded a few times. I just kept cranking the motor, in small intervals, and pumped the pedal a couple times, and eventually it sputtered to life.

If you keep flooding, you can also rig up a simple toggle switch to the ground wire leading to the fuel pump. Flick the switch and let the engine burn off the remaining fuel before shutting the engine off.

 

Clean your plugs, personally, I sandblast mine then wash then down with brake cleaner and blow dry. If you don't have access to a blaster, try the brake cleaner and blow dry. A fuel fouled plug will not fire and the engine will not start no matter how much you blow out the combustion chamber. Fwiw, the tach bounce is from the trailing side, not leading.

 

Every time I had that problem with my rx7s,i simply add the biggest fuel injector cleaner bottle i can find on a half a tank or less of the highest gas octaine i can find,and a little 2cycle oil.It has wrk for me numerous times. Hope it can help you out.

 

Do the fuel cut switch
