Ok so my friends RX-8 backfires stalls then floods
Car has good compression, coils, batterie, ect. Oh its a Shinka
What can it be?!!!!!!!

 

Firing order messed up? Disconnect battery?

 

Will pressing the brake peddle till the oil gauge sweeps reset it? or do we have to disconnect the battery?

 

if your firing order is messed up its b/c the spark plug wires are on wrong. could be bad plugs too.

 

Okay both of you were correct but it wasn't the plug wires it was at the MS harness... firing order is correct now and it is still stalling out. We did the footstomp on the brake pedal but some say that is not good enough, but I will now disconnect the battery to see if this fixes it. It helped this guy.

Thanks for the advice guys!

 

Pull ROOM fuse; bottom fuse of the inside fuse panel.
Then do the brake pedal "chicken dance".
Have the fuel injection wires ever been removed?

 

Thanks for the reply Rote8

I will pull the ROOM fuse as soon as I get her deflooded then I will do the the break chicken dance. I have done the chicken dance before but not the ROOM fuse.

I have not removed the fuel injector wires and I bought it from another guy that had the car completely stock. I removed the fuel pump because I thought it was going bad and swapped it out with a good one but it was not the problem.

 

I was goingto go back to stock coils and found some bad grounds on the ignition kit setup. Good grounds now and she is runnning flawlessly. Thanks everyone.
