Unflooding 1993 RX7
Can anyone help me with a 1993 RX7 thqt i think is serverly flooded. I have tried the procedure for the Gen II, but it doesnt seem to clear it up. I have pulled the plugs, cranked it over, added ATF and first cranked it over with the EGI relay pulled and the thottle wide open. Then reinstalled the plugs. Cranking it over with the thottle closed, it sounds like it is going to start for about the first 10-15 seconds, then loads the plugs up and doesnt fire again. I actually get raw fuel vapor from the exhaust pipe. I pulled the upper plenum and checked the fuel pressure reg, thinking that it maybe ruptured, but it was fine. Any help would be greatly appricieated. Thanks Dan

heres what I did when mine got flooded to all hell.....
pull all the plugs....
clean them.....
pull your fuel relay....
crank engine over for 15 seconds....
wait 5 minutes
crank engine over for 15 seconds....
wait 5 minutes
crank engine over for 15 seconds....no more white gas smelling mist should be coming out of the spark plug holes.....(if there is keep repeating)
then once all seems good....put back in your cleaned spark plugs (use carb or brake cleaner) and just start as normal......
