ok my rx-7 is acting funny...when i try to crank her over she kinda skips a beat...like she jerks and stops cranking for a brief second or two. then resumes turning over. i have found that is i turn the distributor a bit left or right it will either aliviate the situation or make it much worse. i have never had this problem in any of my 5 rx-7 i have owned over the years... i just put the motor in and am running a holley setup. is it ignition problems or do i have internal problems. by the way it runs good once it starts. ( they always do no matter what's wrong) any ideas or help would be much appreciated. Oh yeah i have 4 rx-7 right now 3 1st gen and 1 second so if you need parts i probably have them... email me at rrtec81@aol.com

thanks for your input.

I was thinking the timing was off, but it runs ok once started?

 

yeah it runs smooth when it starts. i don't get it...... no-one here in franklin tn knows how to work on these cars so i have gotten use to working on them myself and i can't figure this one out...

 

Sounds to me like timing too. Check to make sure your T1 and T2 plug wires are going to the correct plugs.

 

Cleared up the problems thanks for all the help!
