There are TONS of threads on how to fix this (including mine...) here is a link. If its really flooded, has it been sitting or did it just happen.

You can search with the button on the top tight and find a definitive answer to the common 2nd Gen rx7 problem. But to make a long story short. Either disconnect or kill the power to the fuel pump then crank it. It starts hook it back up quickly. Most people make a switch that does this that way the can do it all from the drivers seat with ease.
