Flooding All The Time
I've searched and spent many, many hours browsing the interwebs for information related to my exact predicament and have yet to locate any help. It may be out there, but if it is I cannot find it. The situation is as follows.
I picked up an 1988 RX7 Vert last weekend. It seems drives great once you get going and keep the rpms up. However, when you start it if you do not sit in the seat and keep your foot on the pedal (1200-2000 rpms) it will not keep idling for more than 45 seconds to a minute.Including when braking, if I dont want it to stall on me I have to brake with the left and keep rpms from going to idle with the right or It will flood and not restart for quite some time. I originally assumed that the upgraded injectors(originally thought to be massive 750cc+ ebay specials) were flooding because the motor was cold. I tried the old get it up to temperature and then let it idle trick and still had the same issue although once it is running steady and warmed up it basically dies as soon as you let off the pedal which leads me to believe it is still flooding at temp. I haven't gotten a chance to pull the plugs after getting her running to see if they are saturated or not, but I did pull the fuel rail today to see if they were massive ebay special injectors that the previous owner installed and they are not. They are the stock turbo injectors(although I do have an n/a) this should not cause this large of an issue. Maybe during start up, but not once it was running steady.
If anyone has any ideas where this issue may be stemming from or has any more questions please let me know. Thanks

welcome to the board.
my first piece of advice would be to get some N/A injectors, clean them and install them. there is NO point to running larger injectors in a stock N/A. searching on this board should give you all the info you need on why.
