:Hammer how do you de flood the car (rx7) thanks Jay
here you are jay courtesy of clive
De-flooding steps :
1. Remove the fuel pump relay (UPDATE OCT-2003: REMOVE THE MAIN EGI FUSE)...
2. Remove the spark plugs (ensuring the spark plugs leads are away from the engine)...
3. Turn the engine over with the plugs out and the accelerator peddle wide open for 10 to 15 seconds...
4. Wait 10-15 minutes and repeat step 3. Or keep repeating this step until no more fuel sprays out of the spark plug holes...
5. Remove the plugs again and squirt some engine oil into each rotor housing through the spark plug holes (this will line the rotor housing with a thin film of oil, helping the apex seal - seal against the rotor housing, hence restoring compression)...
6. Put the clean plugs/(best to have a new set if you can) back in but do not wire up the spark plug wires...
7. Either manually turn the engine over by hand (from the pulleys) or rotate the motor with the accelerator peddle wide open for 10 to 15 seconds...
8. Re-install the fuel pump relay and spark plug wires.
Try to start it.
If it starts, keep the revs up - don\'t let it die. It will probably run quite rough for a while and after 30 - 60 seconds it should run on its own.
Be patient with it, you may have to repeat some of the steps a few times.
thanks matey i\'ll give that a try now.
I would not put any oil into the spark plug holes as when you put the plugs back in when you crank the engine they will immediately foul again.
If you need oil to restore compression then the engine must be pretty dead and need a rebuild.
