nice clean car

i love the air filter duct;) ..now i know where feed got their idea from for the fd:Hammer but does it really work on fc as i can\'t see any scoop or cut in front.:Hammer

[Brett]

The duct is as Mazda intended.  When the bonnet is shut it is fed upwards from the main intake in the nsoe of the car

by the way brett, carl reckons that its the cold start routine playing about when she is warm, which makes sense, ive been reading that its a thing the ecu does... if you dont get it out of the whole warm start cycle before shutting off.

That\'s more than possible - I can\'t recall how much of the cold idle assist is actually looped into the ECU\'s I/O on an EGi?  I know the turbo\'s have a more intergrated system for sure.

if i fire mine up and let it warm up its ok,if i dont warm it up i floods bigtime when i try to restart,must be a mazda thing.

[Kaptainbalistik]

Ditto, But it is less prone to flooding in a warmer climate :Laugh . That cold start cycle thing makes sense!

Also its much nicer driving a FC on roads that are wider than the car.....

[rmagictastic]

Basically...

The RX-7 (especially 1986 and newer) is well known for flooding problems. One of the most common is caused by a “short start” condition. The “short start” is when someone starts the vehicle and turns it off before it is allowed to reach full operating temperature. The typical situation is moving the vehicle from one parking spot to another(ex: from garage to driveway). Cooler weather, especially temperatures below 70 degrees, aggravate the situation. What has happened, is the engine is still in the cold-start warmup cycle. Due to a fluke in the engine management’s fuel injection computer, if the engine is shut off during this cycle, it is highly likely the engine will flood itself out the next time the engine is cranked. It does not matter whether you wait one hour or one week, the computer will wait for you the next time it’s started. Once again, this is not something that will present itself as a problem every time you short-start the car. Of certainty, the problem will not occur if the short-start situation is always avoided and the vehicle is in proper mechanical condition. If consistent starting problems are experienced outside of the short-start situation, service is probably needed to the vehicle.

love

mine seems to have not got the cold start system in operation as it starts lovely and then goes straight into its normal idle. is this ECU related or is there something else,mine is a TII. Not hi-jacking the thread but its related and seems to flow into your excellent reply

[grinder]

are you sure it has the cold start system - that means it has the weird container for anti-freeze

unless its just ecu controlled ?

just fit a fuel cut switch - best way to stop this
