WHO KNOWS HOW TO UNFLOOD 88 RX-7 non-turbo...desperate HELP!!!
 

im going on my 6th hour here.....no luck....

go to fuse box under hood of car, pull all of them you can get your hands on... crank crank crank crank, just watch out, dont pulll the "main".. it has a screw in it or some shit.. i dunno... crank crank crank.. take the plugs out,... crank crank crank crank....... put all that shit back together... crank crank crank DO NOT TOUCH THE GOD DAMN GAS!!!!!!!.... crank crank.. vrroommmm!!!.. motor blows..... sorry, hope this helps

r u serious....will my motor blow!......

nah man.. LoL.. im just a lil depressed about my motor tonight
your motor will be fine man, LoL, sorry about that

geez...man...the last thing i needed to hear....anyway...im going to do it now....so pull the fuses except the main and pull the plugs and crank it over....or crank after each part is done....

Open the cover of the fusebox on the battery side of the engine bay. take out the innermost fuse, says egi on the box cover. get in car, hold gas pedal to floor and crank for 15-20 seconds, car will not start. put the fuse back in and crank normally for 15-10 seconds. do not touch the gas pedal. if the car starts it will smoke badly for several minutes so try to do this in a ventilated area. if it doesnt work, wait 5 minutes and try again

yeah, you only need to pull the EGI fuse.. sorry man, im in a bad mood....btw, where at in GA you in? im in Augusta... take care.

in stockbridge....what is the egi fuse...and my plugs are drenched in fuel...should i let the engine sit till morning and try to start again or get new plugs

where is the egi fuse

plugs drenched in fuel?... hate to see what your keyboard looks like, ne ways. dry them off with a rag.. then set them aside, pull all the damn fuses you can then, or just look on the fuse cover, it should say, i dont know from the top of my head though. and with the plugs out, fuses out, PUSH THE GAS PEDAL and crank it like a mother.... put the (dry) plugs in and fuses back where they belong DONT! hit the gas.. and crank away

there are 2 of them...one says egi comp. the other says egi inj..........wich one

EGI Injection.. that is your fuel injection son, pull that, your injectors wont fire.. hell.. pull them both, thats what i do....then get to damn cranking home grown

Pull the EGI injector (you are trying to stop fuel flow) or both. Then the reason for flooring gas pedal is to open throttle plates to allow more airflow when clearing out the gas. Sometimes when its really flooded you must put a little oil in each rotor housing to get more compression as all the fuel has dilluted the oil around the seals. Put everything back together and crank it w/ a fresh battery or jumper cables to keep the cranking speed up. If your tachometer doesn't work once you start it, don't panic it will work again next time you start it (I think its just if you pulled EGI ignition relay anyways)
The search button is very top right on the screen.

if those still dont work.... try this!

put everything back (yes all plugs and fuses and wires), go into ur car, look under to the right of the steering colum u will find a white (i think) 6 pin plug. pull it out, crank it 15-20 sec, plug it back and crank and then............. TADA! u got rotary power!

ps, ur cars gonna smoke like hell!

it almost cranked...and yes it smoked...now it wont crank back up....now what....repeat the steps

yep, thats about it...hhmm.. i wonder why yours keeps doig this, just try pulling the fuse this time, you may be able to get away with it if you didnt crank it too much after it flooded, keep at it man, you almost got it bro

would it be ok to put 2 more cap full of oil into the trailing plug holes or should i not

um.... if you're going to do that, use ATF (automatic transmission fluid).. and.. god dman boy, get some sleep, you're almost as bad as me

dont have it....where is the white 6 prong things under the steering column.....i saw one with 4 wires 5 prong white in white....one white and green.....which one is it....that i can disconnect and it will start..

cant sleep have to work today..must have the car

If you are sure you have fuel, spark, air and compression you can only keep at it. The oil/ATF in spark plug holes is a delicate issue. Sometimes its needed to gain compression, but it can also foul the plugs and give you a weak spark. I think the strong battery/ jumped off running car really helps as it builds compression by spinning motor faster and gives spark plugs some power.
The absolute last ditch thing is to pull start the car w/ another car. This can be dangerous, but if you crank it over in a higher gear while being towed w/ it really speeds up the cranking. Be careful doing anything when tired/frustrated. Good luck and good night :-)

it started....good gosh it finally started!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks to everyone that helped...from 7pm yesterday till now....what a learning experience.....rotary...got to love em....:).......THANKS AGAIN!!!

You got 11 posts from just this ONE thread! Gotta love the forum for the help!

good to see all the help from the forum. but i thought you only need to pull the egi comp fuse and crank for 20 seconds, put it back in and fire it up. Thats what has always worked for me. When i was travelling through the mountains last year i stopped for some food, went back to my car and it wouldn't start, i guess the different elevation mucked with my computer, I thought for a few minute that I was stuck 3 provinces away from home in the middle of Roger's pass. Did the fuse trick after i stopped freaking out and cursing and she started right back up. Praise the lord he loves rex7's.

I knew you could do it killa', just takes some... time and paitence. good job bro
