I saw an ad for an 88 rx7 and in the ad it said "the only bad thing was the engine floods however this is typical of rotary engines and i can teach u how to un flood the engine", what is flooding an engine?, i dont think i ever experienced that in my 7...

So its when you turn the key and it just cranks and doesnt start?, i guess this happens to me sometimes but if that does happeb i just press the gas a couple times i hold the gas in a little, does that sound rite?

Today i started it and it just cranked then i had to keep taping the gas and waiting for it to randomly start lol... Is that normal?

Does it sound normal to you? Honestly do you think that a car is supposed to act like that!

Lmao my 13b rx7 is totally different from a "car" i dont know what the norml behavior is, and it only happens sometimes then other timea it starts up no problem

No what I'm saying is that a car is supposed to run & idle correctly. If it is not then you have a problem, it's pretty simple really. If the car is not starting regularly then there is a problem. Your car is around 20 some odd years old & it's apparent that it has some issues that need attention.
