Car does not start
Hi all, I just bought a 1987 RX7 Turbo2 that has been sitting and not running for the past two years. The girl I bought it from said the last time it ran it ran perfectly and that all it needed was a battery. I bought a new battery and installed it, everything electrical works but the engine doesn't turn over. Any ideas of where to start? Thanks guys!

I just got a 93 Rx7 that has been sitting for 10 years, after a good system flush all I needed to do was swap out the plugs and it started right up. I dont know if yours is the same situation but like I said flush out the bad gas, check your system for leaks, or dry rotted hoses, change the plugs and see if she will fire. Make sure you have a good battery also.

Suggestions
If nothing else has worked, I'd start by checking the starter and making sure everything is good there. Mine sat for three years and I've found a whole host of problems. Mainly from improper care and lack of mechanical competence on behalgood luck though man!f of the previous owner.
