Car wont start
My friends rx-7 wont start on its own. If we try to start it in the driveway all we get is...

Thanks

Sounds to me like it's flooding. Pull the EGI fuse, crank it over for a few seconds, stop, let it sit about 5 seconds, crank a couple more times. Replace fuse and try again (fuse is located on the drivers side strut tower under the hood)

Thats what i was thinking b/c i had one a long time ago but I couldnt remember what to pull so I had him pull the plugs and clean it and add atf and try again but we got the same thing. Ill try the fuse next time I see him. Any other ideas?
