Suddenly, the car won't start
 
I went out to drive my RX 7 the other day, and the car would not start. It ran fine just the day before with no issues. It seems to be getting plenty of fuel, just won't fire. I am wondering if there are any "known issues" in this area I can look at before digging into the ignition. Thanks for your help.:scratch:

Does it turn? If it turns, look to see if the needle bounces on the RPM guage, if it doesn't, check Crank Angle Sensor or wires to it.

If you smell fuel its probably flooded, deflood it and see what happens

A bit more information.
 
And another question.

Pretty sure it's not flooding, although I could be wrong and will check. Is it possible for a fuel injected car to flood if you don't give it any throttle? My other cars have carburetors.

This same thing happened a while ago and I solved it by replacing the spark plugs. The ones in there were pretty bad. At the time, I was unaware that the leading and trailing plugs were a different part number. Could this make a difference?

take a spark plug out.
If it is wet then it is flooded,easy as that...look up one of the many deflooding procedures.
