Aye Cap'in, I got a leaker!(cold morning flooding)
i watched pirates ok, let it go....
anyway,
have a 88 rx7 n/a with a 91 n/a engine swapped into the 88's wiring
so for all intents and porposes i have an 88, electrical ecu wiring injectors ect. all 88
now my car likes to flood. it isnt low compression or i would have had a hell of a time putting out 165 whp on stock ports.
now it only really likes to flood on cold morning starts (55f or less)
now i have a fuel cut off switch, i rev the engine to about 3k until it dies to purge the remaining fuel,
and i also have the 3b or 3c pin removed from the ecu so it wont use as much fuel on start up.
so it works like a charm in mild-warm weather, in cold weather it has nothing.
any ideas?

anybody?
i wonder if my afm may be sending a cold air reading to the ecu causing it to dump fuel.
it tried to start today, it let out a massive backfire and didnt start, so i toggled the switch to on for a second and vuala flooded! enen though the pump only ran for a second.
the switch will kill the car so i know its ok, and the car runs like a champ so i know that the engine=good. so why is my ecu dumping fuel?

ok guys, any thoughts or ideas? maybe the charcoal canister has a bad filter and its putting too much fuel back into the block? maybe the afm is sending a too cold signal, maybe a bad ecu, whatever just throw out ideas.
