Angry again with the problems

gentleman I have a small problem and I don't know what the hell happened to my rx. I pulled the choke and started my car, after like 1-2 minutes it just straight died, I don't know how else to explain it. It flooded and now I can't do a damn thing with it I need some advice on what is wrong and what I can do about it. I live in seattle so if anyone knows where a good place to get it fixed that would be a great help also.

thanks a lot

You can do either of the 2 options given here,both work good.


1.You can put some ATF (automatic transmission fluid)down the chokes of the carb.
25cc would be enough for each choke.Depress the accelerator to the floor,and keep it there untill it starts,keep it running.You will see big white clouds of smoke out of the exhaust,dont be alarmed its the atf burning.Keep it running and go for a drive,do not shut it off before normal operating temp is reached.

2.Turn out your spark plugs,remove your coil ht leads,and crank the engine for aprox 15 seconds.Clean and dry the spark plugs and reinstall.

It is a good idea to replace the plugs when it was flooded.
Hope this helps

Pop the top off the aircleaner and look to see if the carb is flooded with fuel.

I agree with Rx7 Carl. Take the aircleaner of,with the pump running,check if there is fuel running down the chokes.
