S2 flood test
soooo, I was being silly suddenly wanted to test if I could flood an S2 by turning off cold.
well, you kinda cant.
I turned off after the air pump turned off on a cold start, so thats about say 1 min. waited 3 sec then tried to start it up again.
it did take abit longer to restart and the engine was just not as smooth to crank when from normal start.
when it started everything was normal again. no misfiring and anything weird.
but you just cant flood it.
16k miles on the plugs and coils.

Only thing this proves is that YOUR engine isn't that carbon infested. Mazda has current S2 Sb's "2009-2010 engine no start problems" so it is happening. The rotary related flooding issues will NEVER go away till they find a way to reduce/eliminate the excessive carbon build-up problems these engines have. As more S2 owners get to higher mileage, the flooding problems will show up more frequently on this forum.
