Question flooding causes beside obvious ?

Hi:

I am trying to solve flooding pb on 86 na (without having to use a cut switch or other gizmos).

So far,
I have checked the following:

1) engine compression
Ok on both rotors

2) leaking injectors
No leakage

What else can cause flooding ?

thanks,
John -

welcome to the flooding rx7 world.
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.

Have you done intake modifications? Flooding can be caused by cone filters sucking in hot engine bay air....

Otherwise, it is usually due to leaking injectors. Best bet is to have them them professionally cleaned.
