A friend of mine the other day was telling me on his RX7's and supras when he's got a flooded engine, if you floor it while tuning it over it actually cuts all fuel so it try's to burn the fuel already in the motor. my motor has a lot of fuel in it right now from 450cc injectors on a stock p06 map. I can either take out the injetors and turn it over thus shooting fuel out the top, or, will this flooring the car method work like rx7s?

If those both are bad ideas to get fuel out of my flooded engine, what should i do?

i remember hearing something like that but im not +. when we did my compression test to avoid flooding we just left 1 spark plug off and turned it over a few times so it would spit the fuel out then moved on to the next.

Pull the fuse for the fuel pump, take the cap off the gas cap to relieve fuel pressure. Then try starting it.

Remember, you will probably need to change your oil, because the gas seeps past the rings, and down into your crankcase.

If there is a lot of fuel in there, do as follows:
Firstly, it is probably cranking really really fast isn't it? That is due to the fact that gas makes less friction between the pistons and the cylinder walls than oil, and because compression rings don't make compression with gas washed all over the cylinder, they need oil to make compression....

Pull all the plugs and disconnet the power to the distributor so you don't make explosions

Pull the fuse for the fuel pump so you don't start injecting more fuel.....

Drip oil into the each cylinder, not a whole lot, maybe 2 oil bottle caps worth in each cylinder

Crank it around for about 10 seconds

Repeat the oil dripping process and then crank it again for 10 seconds....keep doing that until you notice it slow down in cranking speed, hopefully that won't be due to your battery, if you have already been cranking it a bunch, maybe try to charge it with some jumper cables for a minute....

Once you notice it slow down, reassemble your spark and fuel systems, then see if she will start up, immediately hit the gas and keep the revs up to like 3-4k, get all the excess gas out and the oil off the pistons, when it stops smoking, shut it off and change the oil

Yes, on many cars that are fuel injected, there is a switch that is pressed when you put the pedal to the floor. It is suppost to cut the power to the fuel pump so you can burn off all excess fuel.

Try it. It should work.

bb4ever, i think this is the first post you've actually been of some help. Thanks.

Thanks *******....lol...its not like I don't know the crap you ask....this is one of the first things you have asked that isn't easily found in the search...

either way, let us know how it goes....and I would like to know if flooring it really does cut the fuel pump on cranking, I might bust out the multimeter tonight and figure it out for ya just because I'm curious....

do it. maybe itll get added to the faq

okay well i just got my new computer. its a stock p28. im going to get it chipped, but just for ***** and giggles i decided to try and start my car.. it didnt go well.

i did just like you said with dropping oil down in the cylinders, and towards the last one the engine was cranking really fast, fast like it should sound when starting a car normally.. i put back in all the plugs, wires, and hooked up the dizzy again. when i went to start it this time, (what should of been the actual starting of the car) i was disappointed with what happened. it didnt start. and it was cranking pretty slow. like a dead battery slow. although, right now, im using jumpers to get the car started. those are hooked up to a running, revving, 2000 accord. still no change in speed of the crank.

is there something im doing wrong aside from using a stock p28? i would think it would at least start a little

considering a p28 is off a civic and you've not got a civic then i'm not suprised it doesn't start.

TylerC161

well some guy on here was making a thread to help with his running rich factor.. he said he was on 450cc injectors (just like me) and his car was a daily driver on p28.. i figured mine would at least start.. hell, it ran for about 5 minutes on a p06

pizzamanprelude

he probably meant a p28 with some kind off mangement in it.
