I Need Help Plz!

Hey guys, I tried doing a search, but I couldnt find wat I wanted to know.

My 91 nonturbo coupe recently flooded on me. I do the startup process and it works all the time, but it always gets flooded. What I wana know is, what I should do? And more importantly, what is causing the flooding? Everytime I get it up started, the car drives fine jus like before, its been tested for good compression when alive. I recently fixed the Mass Airflow sensor and AirFlow Meter, and O2 sensor. The car lasted a few days and it flooded again. Plz let me know wat i need to fix, cuzz all these dumb mechanics know less than i do about Rx-7s. They keep doing the same **** u do to a Ford or Honda.

fuel injectors are probably leaking.. for the 30 bux an injector its usually worth it to send them out to be cleaned and balanced.

as covered in countless threads, (hint hint, the search feature is in the upper right hand corner of the page)... flooding if not caused by the owner starting incorrectly, is caused by either low compression, or leaking injectors.

Leaking injectors does require removal and professional cleaning to fix. The "pour in" stuff will not help a seriously clogged injector.
