Serious Help Needed :'(
So I live in New York, Last week that big Snow storm hit.
I left my car sitting since last weekend
So as the week progressed i tried turning on, on Wednesday. I gave it one try because the car was still covered in snow and it was cold but it wouldn't start.
No Worries.
So Since Monday This Week, I've tried everything in trying to start it,
I had to get the battery recharged.
Called In My Friend (Silver885)
& we tried at least for 10 Minutes trying to start it.
We Tought & Still Do Think; That Its Flooded, But we took out the Fuel Pump Fuse.
Cranked It, Boosted The Battery, But Still Nothing.
Any one else been hit with this problem and can provide any type of help before i got crazy?

It happened to me one time, or somthing like this. I lost the prime in the fuel sys. the way i was told to re prime the motor is to use oil. the is a small port sticking out on the passanger side of the motor. one on each rotor houseing. they have rubber caps on them do to vac on that sys. if you get long enough vac house you can use oil to prime the sys. and do it out side not in the shop, my buddy learned the hard way. But i was told to do this by a guy that races with rotory motors. and it worked for my case. maybe it will work for you too. LOL or you have blown Apex seal and cant get compression, which i hope is not the case and doubt it is
Good luck hope this info helps

You need to do the advanced unflood procedure.
Remove plugs, clean and dry (or better yet replace...you can use rx7 plugs to get you by for a while). Inject thin oil or ATF into each chamber via the above mentioned vacuum ports on the intake manifold, or via the lower plug holes. Replace plugs, try to start, apply throttle to hold engine at 3000rpm until the oil burns off and the smoke clears somewhat.
BTW the stock plugs foul very easily in the presence of gas or oil. IF they're wet when you remove them, no sense in putting them back in, you're just going to continue to flood the engine worse since they aren't sparking properly. Go ahead and replace them with cheaper rx7 plugs (or an older used set you may have that still worked okay).
