Has anybody been able to flood after L flash?
Has anybody been able to flood the car since the L flash? Does the L flash do anything with gas mileage? I dont drive the car anymore, but I am curious.

You've got to be kidding me... you decide you don't want a car anymore so you're trying to defraud your dealer and/or Mazda by intentionally flooding the car? That's just pathetic. If there's any justice, your RX8 will never flood again...

rieskame, are you just trying to get flamed here? Why did you even bother posting this when you know you've just pissed off most of the forum? As jsplit said, if your dealer catches wind of this, your lemon law case is completely screwed. Guys, please don't turn this into a flame war.

He says it just fills the whole shop with black smoke, but it eventually fires.
Has anybody been able to flood the car since the L flash? It has to be possible. Is there a secret? Does the L flash do anything with gas mileage? I dont drive the car anymore, but I am curious.

The WDS will also tell the Tech how many starts and how many miles since last reset.
I'm not sure what the norm is but 20 starts with a small amount of miles wou;d sure get my attention.

I like the part that states this.
IC 24-5-13-18
Sec. 18. It is an affirmative defense to any claim under this chapter that:
(1) the nonconformity, defect, or condition does not substantially impair the use, value, or safety of the motor vehicle; or
(2) the nonconformity, defect, or condition is the result of abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modification or alteration of the motor vehicle by the buyer.
I would love this guy in my shop.

come on everybody- lets help this guy to get his car flooded! WHere's the team spirit around here.
Maybe if we all chant "One flood to go, one flood to go..."
he'll get his wish and we'll get ours- to get him the "flood" out of here.
I guess the good news in all this is that the L flash does help with flooding.

It is actually quite easy to purposely flood a vehicle if you know how. Any vehicle. It says alot about the intellegence and ability of a person when they can't purposely do something. If I wanted to I could get that engine to flood. I'm not going to say how here though.
There is only one other way to flood it and that involves a large body of water but I don't think that will help the issue.
The comment about it being 2004 and that a car shouldn't flood, well it can so get over it. It doesn't mean that it will though. I've said it once and I'll keep saying it over and over again until some moron finally tatoos it on his forehead. The rotary engine is an unconventional engine. It is not unreasonable to think that it may possibly behave slightly different than the conventional and that it may require special treatment. It doesn't mean that it will though. Those that can't accept this should go out and buy something else.
If you are unhappy with your purchase, sell it. Don't let someone else take the hit on your error. They didn't force you to buy it but you are trying to force them to take it back. Dealerships exist to sell cars and help you fix them if something goes wrong. They aren't there as a shoulder for you to cry on if you find you've made the wrong decision.

You are so pathetic you can not even do the deed yourself but you have to have your dad do it. Sad. If you plan on being a lowlife, do your own dirty work. Does your family do all its business this way?
Somebody please tell me what company their website was for so that I can be sure to not accidently do business with them.

Dude, here's an easy way to flood ur engine and make sure it wont start:
Remove your spark plugs and snap off the electrodes and contacts, then fill em up with high-temp silicon compound and dielectric grease.
While your spark plugs are removed, proceed to dump large amounts of vegetable oil and water into the spark plug receptacles, thus flooding the engine.
After replacing the spark plugs to their incorrect positions, slice the spark plug wires at multiple locations with a razor blade to ensure misfire, should the flooded motor somehow dry itself out.
I *guarandamntee* your car will never start again.
