Need a bit of help

[seanmcg]

Hello guys

Ok im in need of advice, iv been living in oz the last 4 years and had my 92 rx7 started regulary enough except for the last 8 months, it was put into storage, ive been home the last 3 months and my attempts of getting it started have been futile.. I first tried to get it going last xmas but i think i flooded it, i used the deflooding technique but still nothing, i hadnt the time to dry the plugs.. So 4 weeks ago i went down armed with new plugs, oil and a new battery, when i drained the oil there was a good bit of petrol in it.. Stank of it , and the plugs were soaked when i removed them, so put in new ones and new oil, connected up the battery and it started first time, way hey! .. One problem though it sounded rough and wouldnt stay running unless i had my foot on the gas.. So i kept it going till it warmed up, it was kicking out black smoke, still when it warmed it wouldnt hold its idle, so i went back down 2 weeks ago and it started first time again but still sounded rough.. And when it died i couldnt restart it for love nor money.. Its getting spark, it stinks of fuel so maybe compression? It sounds fine when i turn the ignition just doesnt kick in..

Im hoping its not compression hopefully something simple,
car had a full rebuild in 2009 but only has 8ks on it since,

Any advice be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Sorry wrong section

If the car was fine before it sounds like it's still flooded so a good run may well sort it , only other thing is have a double check the leads are back on ok.

I had  the same problem recently, after revving the engine to redline a couple of times & a big puff of black smoke it was fine again

Yeh ill give it another try, ill take out the plugs, take out the egi fuse and the fuel pump fuse and deflood it that way then try get her going,

Just check map sensor is still plugged in to the inlet.  This would cause it to run rough....

If you flooded it and left the fuel sloshing around in it for a few months then I'd say the petrol has eaten the seals and it will be low compression. Not what you want to hear I imagine but petrol will demolish seals if just sat in there.

Fingers crossed for you it's not that and a pipe is off the map sensor though
