Flooding of engine?
Is it true that if you turn the car off and then off, and then back on again (Like when you're waiting for a train), it will flood your engine? Just curious so that when I get mine I won't flood it! Thanks...

Dont go F'in up that mint FC you just got..Ill have to hurt you 
But, yes in some Rx-7s turning off the car within a minute or two after it turning on will cause it to get flooded. It is mainly due to leaky fuel injectors, not all cars do it(mine wont) but some will. Its only within a few minutes after startup that it is a concern though.

if the car is in good condition. it shouldn't really flood no matter what you do....
normaly if it does. it's when it's still cold when you turn it off. like start it. move 10' down the driveway. and turn it off. it might be flooded next time to try to start. so never turn it off when it's cold.
