Hey I have had my Rx7 for 5 years now and only been able to drive it the first year I got it. I have replaced alternator, belts, fuel pump and changed spark plugs/wires to ngk, not sure what else needs replacing the battery cables are my only thing I haven’t replaced and they look really frayed does anyone know what I should buy or what kind I should go with?

 

We are going to need a lot more info. Symptoms? Does it turn but not start? Does it click when you turn the key? You did tell us what you have tried.

 

when I get home I can send a video of me trying to start it also has a switch connected to the fuel pump to turn it on maybe it’s just pulling to much power but I will send photos and videos of trying to start it. Thankyou so much for replying so fast!

 

This is what it sounds like

 

I would like to get a new electric fan, and figure out what all these wires on top of the motor are for

 

Had it turned over just now and the belt to the alternator started smoking I feel it was to tight…

 

Bad sound

 

I think my belt for the alternator is incorrect or needs replaced tried starting her up and instantly was hearing a winning sound and flipped my fuel pump switch on and pressed the gas after turning the key started her up in a idle of 500 and the belt to the alternator was smoking. I would show video but I couldent upload it.

 

For new battery cables, take the old ones off and label the connections on the starter and cable itself. You'll need to get aftermarket cables. I like the ones with the built-in ends. I used ones from Tractor Supply. The positive is pretty straight forward. For the negative, I used one main one and another two foot one that runs from the battery to the connection on the driver's side strut tower. This is what the factory one does. I also ran another ground from the alternator big bolt to the struct tower.

 

I used ones from RockAuto. the negative is a two piece that divides at the ground point on the driver shock tower and the positive goes to the starter and has a short lead that connects to the OEM harness for the alternator juice.
