Or your headlight short shifter short ram intake manifold gasket intercooler timing might be off. Make sure to get that checked out.

OMFG.

It's an s5!

Hold down the gas pedal while cranking, this will stop the engine from getting fuel, hold it all the way down. While holding it down, crank until the engine moise changes completely and stays the same.

Pause for a second.

Then push the pedall all the way down again, crank the car, and while still cranking it, completely let off the pedal.

Adding regular engine oil to the spark plugs can help, or mmo.

if your rx 7 is flooded then go into your trunk, lift up your carpeting and find the wires going to your fuel pump and disconnect them. then start your engine,it will only run for a few seconds. reconnect fuel pump wires start and drive.

or you could just pull the EGI fuse which does the same thing

cranking it over for a minute will not hurt anything,
though if your battery is weak it'll die,
a 6 second turnover off the engine will not clear the flood and build back up compression - now if you do 5 or 10 of them it should

If you like youe apex seals do not put ATF fluid in your engine period
