New here..bought 93 RX7..a bit frustrated!
Car running very rich (can smell it ). Changed new catalytic, deleted the first catalytic, new o2 sensor, new plug, new plug wire and new muffler.
I tested the turbo and boosting ok 8-9-10 psi.
Tested the compression -- 105 psi both.
Checked the plug -- tan color (looks perfect)
No engine code error (manually checked by
grounding 10 & GRN.
Remaining to be checked:
Water temp sensor
EGR valve
Fuel pressure regulator
Question, what else you can tell me in regards to
rich fuel mixture?
I suspected the original owner must have changed or
plug some kind of performance chip. I am not too sure about this. I bought a stock ECU in ebay and I am still waiting for the shipment.
Thanks people

Air pump working? A cat needs this air to oxidize the normally rich exhaust gasses.

The belt is on but how can I check the air pump quickly knowing its working?
The first thing I checked is the air pump and make sure the previous owner did not alter or disconnect that
unit. The air pump is there but how do I check if its working?
Is this a clutch driven pump (electric)?

By the way..
By the way, I forgot to tell you.
I failed the emission both HC and CO big time
but I passed my idle, therefore my air pump must
be working right? I thought the airpump works at
low or idle only.

Correct. If you passed idle emissions, the air pump is most likely OK.

Saner, what, exactly, are you smelling?
1. Gasoline?
2. Sulfur odor?
3. Rich "carbon" odor like rich-running engine with no catalytic converter?
4. Oil fumes?
Each one has its own different set of possible causes. Also, is it only when you first start the engine, after it is warm, or what?
If you can be specific, this could aid a diagnosis.

i was going to say.
did you make sure you have a stock ecu? because it would of been a bit of waste of money if you decided to payfor a new stock ecu when you already have one.
