Car starts but once the gas pedal is touched
OK, I just got a call from a lady that had a 85 RX 7 with the 12a. I met her when I left walmart and notice she didnt have a rear window. Oppertunity knocked and I had an extra rear window.
Well she told me that her car will start, but when she steps on the gas/pulls the choke the car dies. I told her to check the fuel filter. She said it has been replaced in the last 12 monthes.
Anyone have a voice on what to look for. Yes, I did a search with starts and stalls. Didnt help lol
thanks,
Sean

perhaps she has a very leaky accelerator pump in connection with the fuel filter. if i were her, i would start small and pull the fuel feed line and find out how much gas is getting to te carb. then i would go from there. if i were you, i would offer the lady some cash for the car.

yeah i had this problem too.. but umm i dont remember.. It got fixed somewhere between a new ignitor, new wires, new plugs, new coil, adjusting the timing and rebuilding the carb and adjusting the A/P.... :-/

Isn't the accelerator pump there to shoot a little extra fuel in when the secondaries open?

Thanks, I just remember reading in a mech 2ndaries tutorial that you could use a bigger squirt from the accelerator pump. Just adding more gaskets to the pump gave you more fuel. The last time I took apart a carb (long time ago). I could have sworn that the acceleator pump was connected to the 2ndary linkage some how. I probably wont be able to actually see the her car till friday or saturday. Will see, first thing will be a fuel filter change.
