Runs like a Carbed 454 big block?

ok, i let my mazda sit for like a month or two, and its been cold enough out side to snow. i started it up a cuple of times, it takes like 30 min of turning the key, cuz it like floods its self ( i never heard of a import ricer car flooding its self) and when it starts it sounds like its got some juice in its throat and there lot of exhaust smoke. but the cat converter is gutted. this mean it jus need a tune up. like oil and plugs? when i use to drive it, it would flood every once in awhile. which wuld really **** me off cuz then it like never start inless push started. wtf?

"Import ricer car", hahahahaha. You obviously dont know what you own.

Assuming from the flooding problem you seem to have, your car is an 86-88, which would make it a series 4 and thus it has a common problem of flooding.

The smoke on startup is normal as long as it doesnt continue to smoke. Yes do a full tune up on the car. And after its running well again you should read up in the FAQ thread and read the archive for a lot more information on your car. It will help you tremendously.

Do a full tune up and check the compression on each rotor face.

i will never forget this true legend right here. fastest thing i have ever owned. king of the road, talk of the school. bought it for $850. fukin tranny went out and caused the motor to over heat and fuked a bearing. so i traded it for the mazda cuz i was desperate for a car that was drivable.

no i jus like to **** every 1 off and get that loud *** raspy sound. i dont care for speed, cus that weed whacker engine will never be considered fast. if i ever have to race sum one at the red light. i will get out of my car and push it faster. for the dual exhaust, i read u cud put a pipe for each rotary exhaust port. i think im jus gonna cut the cat off and put dual glass packs ot just straight 3in from where the cat was. i jus want it loud.

Okay this thread is done.

If the thread originator wants it re-opened then he or she can PM any 2nd gen section moderator with a valid reason to re-open it.

Otherwise:

Thread closed

And another thing....Everyone in this thread should have known better then to post what you did. Just because I felt like it, all crappy posts were deleted. Some people got PM warnings, but EVERYONE who posted here is now on my **** list. I'll watching for further activity like this and if it happens again, I'll be handing out 7 day vacations.
