Flood

I want your guys oponion on this subject i brought my car to the shop to get the high pressure hose fixed and he did and i went to pick it up today and it didnt start and it was flooded we took out the plugs and they were soaked i was wondering if my injectors are bad or he didnt warm it up, he said that he moved it a few times and i am pretty sure he didnt let it warm up, not warming this car up will it flood, the reason is before i drive it let it warm up for a while and then i start it up when i go back to it. It starts right up you think its cuz when he moved it he didnt warm it up or are my injectors leaking or something really wrong let me know thanks

i also noticed a little hesitation

well i also had that problem and it is typical for these cars. it's because it has an electronic feul pump and floods easily. it's probably because the mechanic left the ignition on too long before he started it. the rx-7 specialties shop here(where i live) said that they always hook up a toggle switch to the fuel relay that way you can shut the fuel off if it doesn't start up in the first couple cranks. it really helps me here to because my car doesn't like to start when it's -35 degrees celcius. so just hook up that switch and you should be good to go. good luck!

P.S. sorry for writing a novel.

yes he probably just shut it off while cold...

if it dosn't happen again I wouldn't worry about it.

and change your plugs now. flooding ruins them.

You only need to run the engine 30 seconds or so to stop if flooding when cold. If it doesn't do it again, don't worry about it.
