welcome to the world of the RX-7 and fuel flooding problems. Several reasons for this.... first off, you might have low compression in one of your rotors, this is common to flooding problems. Second, you most likely have one or more leaking fuel injectors so I recommend pulling all 4 and sending them for cleaning and flow testing. Third, could be your water thermo sensor also, this can cause some fuel problems also, make a homemade code checker to find out if yours is bad.

The number one cause of flooding is residual pressure in the fuel system pushing fuel past leaking injectors. Other factors can contribute, but it usually boils down to injectors. Take them out and have the properly serviced by a professional. Do it ASAP! If they’re leaking, which is caused by crap stopping the pintle from properly seating, then your injectors will also be flowing poorly because of that buildup.

you could fix your leaky injectors or just replace them with new one or i found my own solution and it works perfect.
in your trunk bay there is the power lines for the fuel pump.` located under neath the rug. find the black ground wire and cut it. extend the wires up towards your seat. connect an on/off switch(one that will stay off and stay on not spring back and forth). when your car is flooded turn the switch off. continue to start the car with the switch off. your car will eventuall start. when it does turn the pump back on WHALLA. fixes your start problem and helps your car from getting stolen.
now just hide the wires and install the switch somewhere and make it look clean.

I use the one under the steering stuff. Also I never have to use it because I have a series 5 and it just never floods. I heard that the ECU on the S4 is a major culprit.

Also, I turn my key and the car starts. That's as complicated as I want that to be!

I had all 4 injectors replaced with NEW Mazda injectors, but it did nothing to stop the flooding. I Installed the kill switch, and although it hasn't fixed the problem, it does allow me to start every time.
