Tracy, I have not received the EC2. When did you send it? Keep the 
EM2 until it's fixed. Thanks

EC2 was not shipped yet.  Will do that tomorrow.  OK on the EM2 repair.

Did you ever try John's EC2?  Results would be very valuable info. 

 

I assume you know the standard rotary drill on starting a previously flooded engine.  If not, get familiar with it before your next attempt at starting.  It is a completely different animal than the piston engines most people are used to.  

 

 As an aside, I have not talked to a single RX-8 owner who has not had the car back to the dealer with a flooded engine they could not start.  Hope Mazda can fix this.
