my 7 wont start...
 
Hi all,
My 94 RX7 wont start spark plugs are full of gas...
it seems to be flooded i do the egi relay removal trick but still he wont come out of the coma... a friend suggested it was the fuel pressure valve...or maybe it needs a rebuild but the car has only 68000 miles...what do you guys think?

You can do a couple of things.

Replace the spark plugs.
or
If it is standard trans. you can have a buddy pull start it just make sure you have the key on and when you get going have it in 2nd or 3rd the motor will start to turn over at some point it will fire up then the smoke storm begins.

The best thing to do is replace the plugs.

well, first try removing the spark plugs an turn it over for 30sec. then put the plugs back in. you should have another car jumping the battery at the same time so you have good power turning it over. you could also get some new plugs, sense you say that are full of gas.

why would you think the motor is blown? did it act differently before you shut it down last? if so do a compression test. best way to find out fast, anything below 80psi, you should be worried.

hope this helps. let us know what happens.

my car did that a few weeks ago, started and ran fine killed it, and it never started again, it broke an apex seal out of no where. thought it was flooded too, white smoke and gas on the plugs. do the compression test and check it out. sucks

why does everyone tell people whos cars are flooded that they need to replace the plugs?

Hes Alive Again...the mech said it was faulty coolant sensor or maybe leaky injector. As for compression with the car cold hes reading 90.... mech. said he'll be fine.
Anyways
Thanks Guys
