rx-8 engine flooding problem
i was quite concerned when i read about the flooding problem of rx-8 renesis in the australian forum. any rx-8 in our region encounter such problems b4? it's related to shutting down the engine b4 warming up fully. once it's flooded, it wont start :confused: :eek:

i did start up then shut down in less than 5 mins. a couple of times, luckily nothing happened. However, i won't take a chance next time!

Dont think it is applicable to the later models
Most mentioned/posted cases involve early 2004 or late 03 models Peace..my fren :) Mazda Japan shud haf solved the problem... |
dj... dun worry, nothing will happen. xx88xx, as long as you do not step on the gas when you start the car, it should not flood the engine.

tq tq. i am about to hand over the deposit for the car... so i need to make sure that it's a car that i wont regret... thanks for the info guys.

It happens several times to me in winter time in Aus. I do believe weather plays a part in flooding. If you encountered this situation, wait for few minutes before you start up your again.

i c. Thx!

Sometimes start the engine, then decided that i forgot some stuff, so i off it and go back to house. Auto response(flooding is always not on my mind) and each time i worried that i couldn't restart the engine. But after more than 10 times, nothing ever happen(touch wood and I do still worry). I guess just don't do it deliberately. And if it happens, don't sweat. Chances are nothing would happen.
