Stalling poll #2: previous rotary owners

This might be a good indicator of people buying a rotary vehicle for the first time.

Stalled how so? Do you mean flooded? Everyone stalls a stick now and again...

You are right... I meant flooded. If you could edit the poll, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

If you've flooded, please comment on how you were able to get the car started.

As I said on another thread, I cold start my RX-8, drive it for 20 ft.(inside garage to driveway) shut it off, for a total engine running time of less than a minute, to wash the car. Repeat this process to put the car back in the garage, and have never had a flooding problem. I do this every weekend.

My car is no exception so I am thinking ambient temps might have something to do with this. I am in Southern Cal and it gets down to 48 at night and highs of 75.

Has anyone else from warmer climates had flooding problems?
