i am new to the rotory world, my 87 rx7 turbo is flooding badly, will not start, any ideas

 

It's a typical problem with the series 4, something about the fuel pump still running when you turn the car off or something i cant remember the details but its a fairly easy fix someone on here is bound to know the answer your after

 

thanks man, i hope so, also my bac is getting proper resistance, but will not control my idle any clue

 

Okay, you need to be more descriptive. Tell us what is happening and what you have done to try to fix it.

And have you tried this yet?

I havent ever heard of this before... Once you turn the car off, you cut power to the pump.

Rat

 

Well i really cant remember what the mechanic said exactly i was looking at getting an s4 with the same problem. Have a look at that link to rotary ressurection their band aid fix is to install a cut off switch

 

The cut off switch is for cars that have flooding problems... Not for cars that have pumps that continue to run when the car is switched off.

Flooding is generally caused by low compression or sensor malfunctions. Also, poor upkeep can cause a car to start flooding (old plugs/etc..).

 

Yeah as i said it was a while ago and i didnt remember the exact details all i really remember is that it happens when the compression gets a bit low and is pretty easy to fix

 

i just bought this car, i replaced all four plugs, i have tested all my sensors, they all pass, my compression is at 83 psi, i was told this was good

 

And you have read all this

search the site and see what you can find about the cause of it

 

Did you test the Thermosensor? Pull codes?

 

yes, tested good, on the pressure switch the wires were cut, i reattached them using a diagram, then the flooding started. my bac will not adjust idle i have a tech pulling my ecu to test it

 

this should be good...

 

ecu test good, i did the atf in the intake, how long is this supposed to smoke like this

 

It will smoke for a while.. Just keep running it.

 

no high rpms now, any ideas goes to about 3000 and misses

 

3000 or 3800?

 

TPS. Disconnect and reconnect the plug quickly a few times. It's probably loose or has crud on the contact surfaces.

 

hey, i have a couple of ground wires i need to know where they go, my pics are to large to post, can someone provide an e-mail address to help me find these wires. i will e-mail the pics to you

 

here is one. it hangs by the starter

 

that is just usally bolted to the blcok
there are a few of those on your car too.
are there any other wires disconnected?

 

this is the other one, it is on the back side of the motor towards the firewall just under the intercooler, it was hanging by the transmission.

 

i have no idea where thta goes... sorry

 

any one else know

 

That one gets attached to the clutch slave cylinder.
