The AntiRice

Just like it says, every time I turn off the car, the next time I start it, it is flooded. I started reving it up to 3K, then turn off the car while fully depressing the pedal. This seems to work well, but it still shouldnt flood like it does. Any suggestions on why it does this? The car has good compression, and has been taken care of, but if it dies when it is cold, I have to pull the EGI fuse, crank over for 10 seconds, then put it back in, and it starts right up. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I have a fully built Turbo II, and it has only flooded once in the past year.

im not sure...and im no expert but it sounds like your injectors are acting up some how. someone else help me out on this and explain more. sorry i wasnt more help.

you turn it off when it is at full operating temp. right? kind of a stupid question, since you guys problably already know this

The AntiRice

thats what I have been thinking, maybe leaking injectors or something, just seems kind of bizarre

The AntiRice

of course, i always let it completely warm up before I turn it off, and i rev it up to 3k and depress the pedal when i turn it off

yeah from what i hear when i talk to my rx7 guy. the injectors tend to leak....if you want call him or email him at his website www.banzairacing.net

i have an na gtus and when i turn it off i pull the e-brake, put it in first, and let the idle drop to about 500rpm then i turn it off. seems to work for me especially during winter. Now when you rve up to 3k and turn while its decelerating, when do you turn off the ignition?

The AntiRice

i turn off the ignition when it reaches 3k, and hold the accelerator to the floor until the motor stops completley, thats what Chris at RP recommends.

Defiant FC3S

hmm, i'll have to try that sometime.

The AntiRice

any other thoughts?

I just picked up my car from chris at RP today and he told me the same thing, he said s4 tend to flood.

The AntiRice

actually, mine is a S5, its a 1991, but my 1990 Turbo II never floods, i dont get it

Everything I have heard/read=loss of compression.

The AntiRice

anyway to fix this without replacing the motor?

I think it is Mazdatrix that sells a bleed back valve for this symptom. But me mentioning it seems to inflame some of the older members. There is a thread that debates the use of this device.

After taking apart my motor I understand what they are saying.
