Keeps Flooding!!!!

hello guys

my car keeps flooding

if i let it sit there for like 2.5+ hours

well most of the time.

and Definatley EVERY MORNING...

if it does get flooded,

it'll either take about a FULL minute to actually ignite

or

can't start at all unless i push started it.

when i can't start,

it'll crank really slow, that it can't pick up speed to keep it running.

i called mazda, asking what i should do

they said i should let my car cool down at least like 3 minute

one day, i did it for 5 minutes,

and it was still flooded.

plz help

my car is 89 rx7 n/a

Send your injectors out and have the cleaned. Leaking injectors is the #1 reason for flooding.

It would also be good to have your starter rebuilt to help with the craning. The injectors are probably bad, cleaning them will do only so much. Durring the night when temps drop down so does the resistance accross the injector coil, if they are bad or close to being bad it' causes them not to close and leaking occurs.

I believe I have some info in the forum section of my website check it below.

Thanks guys, my problem is solved.
it was my battery, and it wouldn't charge.
So my starter didn't spin fast enough when i started it.
it went away with my new battery. Thanks guys
