Ok SO I GOT MY CAR A FEW DAYS AGO IT STARTS FINE EVERY TIME RUNS STRONG VERY NICE. ITS AN 87 NA RX7. YESTERDAY I WENT TO START IT ABOUT A HALF HOUR AFTER DRIVING IT HOME FROM WORK AND IT WOULDNT START. IT CRANKS BUT IT HAS THE SYMPTOMS OF NO SPARK. BUT I WAS ABLE TO PUSH START IT! AFTER PUSH STARTING IT IT STARTED AND DROVE FINE SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY. THE SAME DAY I WENT BACK TO WORK AND WHEN I GOT OFF IT WOULDNT START AGAIN. BUT SAME THING AS SOON AS I PUSH STARTED IT I COULD SHUT IT OFF AND START IT UP JUST FINE. THE CAR HAS PRETY MUCH BRAND NEW MSD PLUG WIRES AND NGK PLUGS SO IT SEEMS WEIRD TO ME. PLEASE HELP ME OUT GUYS. THANKS

 

engine flooded???

 

I dont think so cuz i usualy have to give it just a touch of gas for it to start up. but in this case it didnt matter how much i would give it or not give it. its weird its like i can drive it around all day then i go to start it and it just doesnt wanna start...

 

Trust us, you flooded your car. Mine does that sometimes too. These cars are known for flooding easily if you try to restart them after driving, especially if you don't get them fully warmed up. The engine is actually harder to start when it's warm than when it's cold, as it has better compression when it's cold. If the plugs cool off a bit but the engine is still warm (like when it sits for about a half hour), it can flood if it misses while turning over. Search for flooding in the forum and you'll find out an easy way to fix it.
