Car won't start, advise needed reeeeeeeeeeeel bad

Car: 1987 rx7 N/A


Ok, b4 anyone gets on here and says theres already 1000 posts on this topic so just run a search I ALREADY HAVE.

That said, my problem seems pretty simple or so I thought. My car has been taken off the road for about 1 month and a half for the winter so far. I was regularly starting it about once a week, but I slacked off and didn't start it for like 2 weeks, so today I went out to start it and it wants to turn over but just won't! It sounds like its flooded so what do i do, or what else could be wrong.

PS. It's not the battery I've already checked it out, and yes i'm fairly new to the rotary scene so I'm no mechanic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Since you believe its flooded, have you tried unflooding it?

if its flooding pull the ecu fuse under the hood on the drivers side. crank it for a few secs and replace the fuse. if it was flooded then it should crank up.

good luck
