Does your FC flood?
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 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 ****.

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.

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

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.

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
