Hey i just bought a rx7 fc3s, car was flooded and due to that i am now taking everything apart to cleean it up and replace the neccessary parts. as for the rotary engnie i have tried starting it, cranks only, tried to unflood it, didnt work, could be something electrical so we took it out and are soon going to run it out of the car. what do i need to know to revive it before i sell it and throw a s13 engine in it. HELP i wanna keep the rotary alive

If it was underwater any number of things could be goosed. Answer the following to point people in the right direction

Was it running when flooded?
Have you made sure there is no water in the engine/oil?
Are you getting a spark?
Are you getting fuel pressure to the injectors?
Are you getting fuel into the cylinders? (cylinders - force of habit)

Don't know if it was running when it got flooded but it is getting spark and fuel last time it got started the ECU was fried and Then we tried again and it started in gear but jerked itself off
