My 81 RX-7 looses power and dies as soon as I start up a hill or an incline. This is after the engine is warm and has been driven a few miles. It will restart after a few attempts, but does this every time I drive it.

Any Ideas?

check timing
getto check compression, sequentially take bottom spark plugs out and hand crank listen for 3 even whooooshes - do this for front and back rotors,

look for a part that will by expansion due to heat cause a big vacuum leak

fuel level in float bowls 1/2 way at sight glass?

check all the basics - filters,plugs.wires,dist. cap, on and on

thats a start

let us know what you find

Only when going uphill? If so, start by checking the fuel level in the float bowls. How old is the fuel filter?

 

check your cat, might have collapsed and is blocking..........happened to me.
