this guy in my area is selling his 88 n/a asking 1300.. car does not run and he's saying its due to flooded injectors.. now im in the process of finding out if my tII motor is blown ( https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/my-motor-blown-912381/ ) .. is there a way to check if flooded injectors is the true issue .. other than that .. what would you say that car is worth 88 gxl 135k miles..
another question .. can i put my tII injectors on this car if i buy it to get it up and running .. im a complete mechanical NEWB!! im a mobile electronics guy so i can use all the info possible ..

 

If the car is flooded, try putting oil in the spark plug holes, pull the EGI fuse and crank. Insert the spark plugs back in and the fuse and try to start it.

 

How does one "flood" an injector?

 

i went to look at the car .. dont think ima take it .. the guys telling me that there was a lot of sandy gunk in the gas tank that he tried cleaning out .. he said he had it started at one point (about a year ago) for a few but then it shuts off.. he says that the gunk that was in the tank most likely passed through the gas lines (so that'll also have to be changed) .. and the car had some rust holes under the passenger side (im afraid of rust lol) ... but regardless of all that im going to try the oil thing in the sparks with the egi fuse out and see what the results are ...

clokker.. im the wrong person to ask .. but if you got some info .. feel free to help out .. thanks!

 

I'm just being pedantic.
The engine might flood due to leaky injectors, but injectors themselves don't "flood".

It's hard enough to try and help someone diagnose a problem over the internets without contending with oddball terminology.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

 

flooding is a manner in which something is overcome by an unnecessary fluid , ie the whole car is under water , my injectors are flooded because they are in the sink etc.
really easy to flood anything lol

 

^ hahaha

 

Interested?

Thats half true, the other half is because sometimes people just need money for other stuff.

 

I'd agree to that
