Problems after flooding

I flooded my rx7 from not letting it warm up, fulled the injection relay and cranked over put relay back in and it started.Now i have found under load the car is cutting like a fuel/ignition cut any ideas as it is fine if i rev engine up at idle or whilst driving but as soon as i put foot down it starts cutting and back firing... any ideas?

I had the same problem, but the plugs were not fouled... Is you problem right around 5k?

Na its as soon as i put my poot down flat its fine if i put pedal down half way will go right past 5 k, im guessing the extra fuel/air is just to much for the weak spark

could be your leading or trailing coils that are not sending enough spark to the plugs...

Could also be that your trailing ignitor is going bad. It happened to mine and swapped a new one in and bingo, all running smooth.
