how many times...
will the renesis take flooding???
i handed over the car to mechanic who took it to the hyundai shop where he works.. did a diaog on it.. says that rotor one its compression is at 78% or something i'll get exact numbers in a bit.. and rotor 2 is at 118.. the minimum he said for each rotor is 98.6
granted my car does have high miles.. almost 110k
and remember i had the flooding Q's in a thread prior to this one..
so changed out coils.. plugs were cleaned.. wires and plugs where not even a yr old yet..
my guy is in contact with the a mazda buddy of his.. hopefully i'll find out something soon i'd really rather not buy a new motor..
but as my question was stated how many times can a the renesis take a flood??

you need to get real compression numbers as jmc said in a set of three...
as for the 3 rotor idea....Ill just say it before you get flamed for bringing it up but there are a million threads on this subject and its gonna take a long time and cost 20k plus upwards of 30k if you cant do any of the work

The number of floods it can take is not set in stone. Why do you ask? Do you flood it on a regular basis?
The compression test results should come in a set of three numbers per chamber. For example: Rotor 1: x, x, x - shows a result for each face. You should have two of these.
You may want to try an engine decarb. There is a DIY Mazda Zoom Zoom Cleaner thread that will five you the instuctions.

well i took it in to the stealership.. turns out the battery in my car is too small which didnt help, so it helped with the flooding..
also i needed a new secondary shutter vaule replaced and the intake cleaned out througly..
the only reason i paid 850 is because i dont have any trusted rotary mechanic exept the one in the back of that dealership, the others were not closer than 200 miles..
so i allowed to get that done.. it was gonna be 1200 bux but i talked him down to 850..
so after a 2 month wait i'll be driving my 8 tomorrow home from work..
