I've searched, and it didn't yield the info I need...I could be blind but please don't flame. Anyway.....

I'm having my car fixed...a little body work... and I was thinking I should probably warn the shop about flooding seeing as how they'll be moving it short distances and all.

Does the 7 have to be DRIVEN for any reason to keep from flooding, or just brought up to operating temp. I can't imagine just moving the wheels would make a difference like that, but I'd kinda like to know.

Thank you

 

if they let it warm up fully..there should be no issue...

It's those short..pull it out of the garage to wash deals...that will get you.

 

why is this??

i have never heard of a similar problem with any other car...only the RX-7. what causes the engine to flood if you turn it on then off again shortly??

TIA

 

Ports, no valves. Excess cold-start fuel(the AWS especially) can possibly drain into the engine and foul the plugs. Depends on where the rotors line up also. Think Russian roulette with a revolver.

 

Yup..what he said

 

got it. thanks man.

 

K...thanks guys...now let's hope I don't get a call telling me it's flooded.

OH, and you can congratulate me as I repaired my first part on my car....I changed the turbo couplers out for silicone ones I know I know..simple...but I'm proud.



Thanks
