Not sure what is going on with my rex, but here is the back story. I moved on November 7th and the car sat in the driveway for 5 days at the new house. It has a remote start on it and I used to be able to hear it fire right up at my old house in the garage. Well, this time the weather must have changed enough to where it was turning over but wasnt getting spark or fuel (one or the other). When I went outside I noticed that the car was not started and i could smell unburnt fuel. I figured that it probably just hosed down the plugs and flooded so it would need to sit overnight to dry up. I go to start it the next day and the battery is dead. I got another battery and now its back to turning over but not firing. I can hear an occasional pop out the exhaust like its about to start. It is on the ragged edge of firing up. Can you usually hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to "on" with these cars? I can't hear anything, but never payed attention to whether or not it had a whiney prime before. It has a Walbro 255lph pump.

I was almost thinking maybe i need to just pull the plugs and either air it out or change/check them since they would be out anyway. The car had been running pig rich according to the wideband before so maybe my plugs are fouled.

Would ether spray be a bad idea since its EFI?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

 

it sunds as if its severly flooded. take the plugs ut unplug the fuel pump relay crank for fifteen seconds or more put oil in the leading holes turn it over by hand to lub the apex seals then install new plugs see if it will fire.. also if it does get your oil changed

 

I will have to try that tomorrow. Thanks for the tips.
