having problems with a 13b
 
Ok so im steve dean and im a new rx7 owner. I traded my 240 for a running rx7. About a week after getting the car it started to have trouble starting. Leaving work I had to push start the car. Ran fine till I got home. Next morning it would not start. I replaced the spark plugs. Started right away. Two days later im going to leave a friends house and my car would not start. He helped me push start the car. Ran fine all the way home. Next morning would not start. It smells like its drowning. (after trying to start it for a while.) I dont know what the problem could be. Any advice is very helpful.

FC rx7s are notorious for flooding if you dont allow a full warm up.. or flooding from leaky injectors when shut down.. usual trick is to wire a fuel pump kill and crank the engine till it catches, then enable pump


on STOCK s5 and FD you can keep the peddle floored and the ecu will interpret a flood start and cut pump for you

and yes,, do this often enough and the plugs suffer and will require replacing , that may even be part of the issue now ... search,, all the answers are witihn

You knoe the injectors are something I didnt think about. It happed right after I went above 5k rmp so the secondary injector probably got stuck open
