Low compression is the most common cause of consistent flooding.

Since you're so broke you should sell that green neon to get some money

Seriously, this isn't the car to own if you are broke all the time. It can takea lot to keep them on the road, it isn't all just about making them go fast or look fast.

Yes i'm aware they are spendy and Yes i'm aware alot of people dont like neon but hey... I love my Rx7 and i enjoy neon. I'm not trying to make it "look fast" or "go fast" I just want a nice car... i hate rice just as much as the next person.... I will never sell the car or give up on it because i love it to much. When taxes come there WILL be a new motor going into it. But for now.. What can i do about my flooding. I know i can put in a fuel cut switch...... but i'd rather make things right enstead of just overlooking the REAL problem... if it is bad compression then i will do a fuel cut switch... other than that any suggestions?
