Default 04 rx8 flooded

ok I think my 04 is flooded. It has done it before and I took it in. This time I am going to do it myself. I know about pulling the fuel pump fuse but I have also seen where to pull the air pump fuse. My question is where is it located at? Is it in the same area as the fuel pump, and what does it say as far as knowing I have the right one?

There isnt a fuse for the air pump. Just unplug it. Remove the spark plugs, clean them & dry them. Dissconect the crank sensor and wind the engine over to clear/dry the rottors. If the plugs arent too old refit them ( otherwise replace) refit fuel fuse & crank sensor. Open up the air filter housing. Spray some engine start into the intake pipe. Hook up a jump pack or another running vehicle. Put your foot flat on the gas pedal, wind it over. When it begins to build compression very slowly release the pedal until it fully fires up. Then bring the revs to 2500rpm for a minute or two.
