basics:
1986 to 1988 FCs = Series 4 (series 1, 2 and 3 were first generation 1979-1985)
1989 to 1992 FCs = Series 5 (series 6, 7 and 8 were third generation 1992-2002)
reasons for flooding:
-bad/leaky injectors
-low compression
-you turned the car on and then off before it was able to complete the warm-up procedure.
Take a video or be super detailed otherwise we're all working blindly. The "foot all the way down" is also a Mazda aid to help you deflood so you're doing ok. Just keep working on the details.
