I've been told leave the car on before turning it off, like if you move it quicly, let it idle or it'll flood.

My FC has not flooded since I changed the plugs feb 07.

It's a S5, I'll turn it on and turn it right off, never floods, my dad said hes had it flood on him once a blue moon but he never changed the plugs .

Do your FC's flood? S5/S4? They properly maintained?

No flaming needed, I've had my FC flood before, we all have I'm just curious on if your fc's often flood

 

My car flooded once.

 

My car was warm and I parked it at a Les Schwab to get a tire fixed. The guy tried to move it into their garage. Of course he ran inside after about 2-3 minutes.

 

My 87 t2 doesn't really flood often. But when it does, it happens when I turn it off after a hard run and don't let it cool down. I'm up with my maintenance, which is probly why it doesn't do it 24/7. I remember on the 86 n/a I used to have always flooded atleast weekly, it was annoying as ****.

 

mine has been flooding alot recently. runs amazing except when it floods I think I have a crappy injector.

 

my car would flood occasionally when it was really hot outside.... but then again that was also because i had a hairline fracture in an apex seal. Since the engine has been rebuilt, ive had no flooding.

 

Never.

 

i had 1 flood incident since 05

 

I've never had my car flood. I start it cold and shut it off to run back inside the house if I forget something and it starts right up again. I've owned it for 2 years and put 40k on it.

 

Hmm

So far this thread makes me think, why do lots say rotary engines flood? My engine has been great, our mustang at the same miles has had more work done to it then my rx7 could dream to have and its STILL got problems.

haha

 

right after I rebuilt my engine it flooded a few times before it was fully broke in. but i havnt had any problems for about a year

 

yea... then my apex seals drowned.

 

My car floods more than ******* Genesis 6-9, if you believe in that mumbo jumbo.

john ny

 

Before I got my new engine, if I even looked at my 7 wrong it would flood. But after I got a new engine, not one problem

 

nope, not yet atleast

 

my s4 TII NEVER

 

tuned S5.

never.

 

s4 NA

On the rare occasion i dont let the car fully warm up, i rev it to about 3k and turn the car off, seems to work since i havent flooded it yet.

 

on my old gsl-se it would flood if shut off to early but my s4 has never done it

 

My gxl never flooded once on me in 9yrs

 

hasn't flooded since i got it which was about 9months ago

 

My 86 SE (sold it 3 years ago) would flood about once a month. The previous owner had a EGI cutoff switch hidden under the dash and it was very useful.
The car had 162,000kms when purchsed and 200,000kms when sold a year later.

My 88 GXL (bought it 3 years ago) never flooded yet. This one I bought at 110,000kms and now has 197,500kms.

 

Any time the engine is hot. Rebuild has about 7000 miles. Pretty sure an injector is faulty.

 

My first RX-7 Never did, 160,000+ miles on an NA. The 2nd one flooded pretty bad when I got it but it was Turbo with a blown motor. My current one has not flooded on me =P It has started and died once the day I got it XD freaked me out but after that it started right back up.

 

Probably because most people that don't give a **** about their cars let them flood every once in a while and procrastinate fixing the real problem. I know people that have FCs just so they can say they have one, don't give a **** about them and they are the ones that sit there and crank for 2 minutes trying to get their cars to start You will probably not succeed trying to educate these people, let it be
