Why do Rotarys flood????
Stupid and annoying!!.. lol.
think its something to do with the petrol
or maybe your needing a map i e we getting a date set so u coming???
Yeah mate. Need to get vac lines sorted first, then I\'ll come and get it remapped.
Its mainly because of a Fault, could be anything from Bad plugs to low compression.
What does\'nt help is the fact there is always two baths per rotor that are sealed so even if you take the Plugs out you can only dry two of the six, but the biggest problem with that in mind is you don\'t need the Plugs in to create Compression, so with the plugs in or out you are still getting the same air/Fuel in the motor every time you turn it, so imagen you take the plug leads off every rev of the engine puts enough fuel in each bath to start a Rotary from cold (and thats alot) and thats worked out assuming the engine\'s Compression is over a set figure if its any lower it will effectivly be too much and will be rich from day 1 (it also does this with the Plugs out unlike a Piston that requires the vacum of the Piston going down the bore to draw in air then the ECU figures out how much has been pulled in and add\'s fuel acordingly).
Another in built problem a Rotary has is that when the thing Floods the Vapor turns back to Liquid and sits between the rotor and the Rotor housing, so what you get is the liquid Fuel soaking the plugs every time the bottom apex\'s pass the plugs.
So its a no win situation thats why its recomended you tow the Car, this is because the Electrical system is\'nt turning the starter (so you have a stronger spark), The Engine is being Turned Quicker so it will produce more compression (centrifugal force pushing the Apex\'s into the Housings) so in many cases this is the Only way you\'ll get a Properly flooded car going (thats why you don\'t buy an Auto ;))
Very easy solution to this is when you are about to shut the engine down,take the revs up to around 3500 rpm and then switch the ignition off and put your foot flat to the floor on the accelerator,this gets lots of air going through the engine without any fuel on shut down.
If you have to deflood the engine then you can get all six chambers pretty dry,take out the apark plugs,take out the EGI fuse in the fuse block attached to the positive lead from the Battery,push foot to the floor on accelerator and crank for say 30 seconds,then do it again for a further 20seconds.
Clean the plugs up and make sure they are dry from fuel too,replace plugs and EGI fuse and start the car.
Make sure that you have a good strong battery too,65 amp is good.
As Grizzly said,low compression is the most likely cause,but leaking injectors can also do when they continue to leak fuel after shut down.
