87 N/A FC rx7 wont start

My 7 just sits there and turns over and over and kicks and sputters but won't start and stay running,it started up two times and instantly bogged and died again and I'm not all that sure what's going on with it other than it might be flooded but any advice would be helpful thanks.

It is probably flooded. Take the spark plugs out and see if they are soaked in gas then tell us on here and we can tell u how to unflood it.

Try to do the deflooding procedure it just sounds like its heavily flooded...but if it is flooded means that you might have another problem maybe a leaky injector or maybe the car is pumping too much gas into the combustion chamber

Just unflood it by holding the gas petal all the way down and start it for 10 sec. Then press the gas down and start it until it starts ( maximum time 10 sec ) then if it doesn't work try again maximum amount of time about 3 tries

Just To Get Clarification... The Car Ran Just Fine With Just The Change Of Wires Or Did You Also Use The Deflooding Procedures?...

It's always nice to post what you did you fix the problem.
After all if nobody did that the Club would not have any info to look at would it?
