LOL: ungodly slow minivan with commercial plates (no parkways allowed) vs. zippy rotary power. Greeeeeaaat.

 

well then I'm in the bronx how do I get involved in this caravan. I'm close to Queens. I'm right between the throggsneck and whitestone bridge which both go into Queens.

 

Hey- Take either bridge to the cross island parkway, to the Long Island Expressway East. Get off at exit 38 for the Northern State pkway, to the meadowbrook parkway. Err....Just follow these direction

ok so far it looks like im meeting up with davida and lurch in jersey, then nycdrift and the 2 carlos's in queens then klepto then we roll through...

 

THEY GOT HER STARTED!!!
NO MINIVAN! heh

 

was it just flooded? i know the de-flood process can take a very long time if its not done exactly right.

 

See this is what bothers me (aside from the $200 it's costing me). They say, yes, it is flooded. But I thoroughly tried to de-flood, and I don't understand what they might have done that I didn't do. In this order, I:
1) Fully charged the battery using wall power overnight, and kept charger plugged in during starting attempts
2) did the "crank for 10 seconds with the gas pedal depressed" thing a few times
3) took out the fuel pump fuse and removed the spark plugs entirely and cranked it to "clear out" any gas.
4) Removed all the plugs and let it sit overnight to let any gas evaporate
5) Bought a BRAND NEW set of plugs, tried starting with fresh plugs and after sitting overnight, with a fully charged battery. If that doesn't fix a flood, WTF else can they do at the shop??

 

why are they charging you?...are you under warantee?

 

heres the fix that we do that has worked for me 2-3x in my own garage on the rx8. and a dozen times on my rx7's and friends.
jump it with another vehicle, someone giving it gas at about 4krpms then crank the 8 with the pedal down and 3-4 with pedal off.
once cranks you will see the exhaust have white smoke come out.
g/l

 

btw i am feeling alot better and think I can make it
hope the weather holds up

 

Whats not crazy in queens and the 5 boroughs lol

Im heading to queens right now, got to run some errands get a cut, help my bro install a clutch on his Mitsubishi EVO 8, then head out to LI to see my famz, and should be there if everything goes as planned.
