4. TRY TO UNFLOOD IT.
5. CHANGE OUT SPARK PLUG
6. PUT IT TWO CYCLE OIL
7. BEFOREundefinedundefined PUTTIN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE CAR STARTED (NEVER TOOK OUT THE FUSE)
8. GOT SCARED, KILLED THE CAR

You might have shorted something out from an improper stereo installation. The car will still run without the fuel pump relay, but the pump will only get 9 volts instead of the full 12 it needs under wide open throttle. Don't understand why you would pull it. A bad thermosensor will cause the car to dump too much or too little fuel. To unflood the car, first pull the spark plugs and cleanr them or replace. Next pull the egi fuse and crank the car about 3 times for 10 seconds at a time to clear out extra fuel. Do this with the gas pedal to the floor. Squirt in a little atf into one of the front and ear spark plug holes and put the plugs back it. Crank the car with the gas floored to cut fuel and distribute the automatic trans fluid. Now put the egi fuse back in and crank the car. Should start up. It will smoke for a while as the atf clears out.

Oops
Thanks For The Input.
I Thought I Was Cutting Fuel By Removing The Relay. I Guess I Was Wrong. Thank You. For Helping Me Out. Now. About The Location Of The Sensor. Is It Pain To Replace. I Mean I Love The Car, But The Engine Compartment Is Not The Most User Friendly Place For Wrenching. Any Input Or Short Cut Will Be Thankful,
I Love All You Rx7 Experts.
