I'll try and keep this short
freshly rebuilt my rx7 and it after a week it died on me while driving and won't start again, not even from a bump start.
​Here is how the car sits right now

She is getting spark

Timing is set to the crank pulley mark and the CAS mark

It has fuel and fuel pressure, injectors were flow tested and all are okay

Fuel pump is getting correct voltage on low and high

Starter is working perfectly

Maf is working perfectly

It will crank and attempt to fire but it won't. Pushed the car with a truck and got it to stay running. Had to have my foot to the floor in first gear and it would barely stay alive. Once it got above 2k it cleared uo and drove a bit normal. I got it to idle woth the throttle pedal but it was rough and not happy about it. As soon as I left off it died.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

welcome to the board.

how did it behave for the week that it ran? (cold start, hot start, power production, etc.,)

you probably need to check the compression.

 

It would drive and idle just fine but starting it would have to be bump started. You could get it to start on its own but would have to de flood a few times

 

always check compression first when having any starting/driveability issues.

 

So the compression on the car is good. Still not sure what is going on

 

what were the numbers?

i suppose it could just be badly flooded. have you pulled the plugs and had a look at them yet? maybe get some new plugs and try the deflood procedure, them put them in and see what happens.

 

I forget what the number were but they are all good. The plugs are new. I just replaced every vaccum line and plug yesterday and the car seemed like it wanted to start but still wouldn't. Eben after de flooding after each failed attempt. Tried to bump start down a hill and it still didn't work.

 

okay. well, then try timing. i know you said you set the timing per the process, but put a light on it while cranking and see where it is. maybe move the CAS to and fro between attempts to start.

 

thanks I'll give that a try. I'll go max advance and work from there

 

had my buddy push the car with his truck and we managed ti start it. Just to find out I have a **** ton of smoke coming out of my pcv nipple. All emissions have been deleted on this car so the nipple is left open. And ideas?

 

what color is the smoke? are you there lots of bubbles in the coolant when the engine is running?

 

there are no bubbles in the coolant. The smoke is blue.

 

blue = oil. But its normal to be smokey for a little while after a fresh rebuild.

i’d pull off your exhaust manifold and look in the ports with a mirror. If there is a lot of oil in the rotor chambers as the engine is being turned over by hand that you can see then its something with the oil control on the rotors that is you problem.
