help please
Ok, so I posted a few days ago my car wouldn't start. So I just bought a new battery, higher crank than the one that was in there. I went to start the car, and it just makes this god awful trying to start sound. There is a slight smell of gas, did I flood the engine, i havn't touched the peddle much. Could trying to start the car off a bad battery cause the engine to flood? The car sounds like its trying to do some dry start, loud higher pitch. Anyone got some idea's. I am limited on tools and not sure what to do.

not sure if it is flooded. but the process to start a flooded rotary is quite simple.. remove the CGI fuse ( last time I saw it in a thread it was wroten like this : (c)gi ), and crank the engine so it trows the gas trough the exhaust.. try it... can't do any warm I think

knowledge junkie
We'll need a bit more info that that. Is this a new car you've never started before? When was the last FULL 60K mile type tuneup including plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, injectors cleaned/blueprinted, exhaust checked for clogging/backpressure, etc...
Has the car been running fine up to this point or what problems have you seen? If you think it's flooded, do you hear the normal "whooshes" when cranking or does it sound like the starter's turning, but the engine isn't (sevear flooding).
I'm assuming you've already SEARCHED THIS WEBSITE for flooding. And during your search, you realized you can do the de-flood procedure found on 1989-1991 RX-7s of pressing the accelerator to the floor while cranking to un-flood the engine. Then release the accelerator and startup the car.
You then tried the de-flood solution YOU LEARNED BY SEARCHING and it didn't work.
