engine not flooded...what's the problem?
i thought my engine was flooded cause it had happened before and i was able to do the simple unflooding trick to fix it. but this time it won't start and it doesn't seem like it's flooded cause when i try to start it it doesn't sound like it is getting close to starting. i took the battery out and got it fully charged and have done the simple unflooding trick with the EGI fuse about 10 times and it hasn't worked. the battery is up around 14 v so i don't think that is the problem. i have an 88 gxl by the way.
what should i do? i appreciate any suggestions. and i'm not really a car guru so anything too complex and i'll have to take it into the dealer. thanks guys and gals.
by the way, is there any kind of rx7 hotline number. like an 800 number to call with questions about the car? just wondered.

Push or pull start it, maybe it's flooded too much to build up compression, if you can't get it started by this method, something else must be wrong.
