ok guys..

I did a compression test today... how does 90 sound?
both of them are reading 90..

changed belts and oil.. not sure where the drain for the coolent is yet but imm lookin... well anyway

It turned over a few times long enouf to check compression.... now it wont turn over... it just clicks..
i think the starter may be bad.. i was thinking/dreading that it might be carbon lock... i backed the motor a little and tried again... still just clicks..

looks like im gonna need a starter..

also the car has no gas in it.. wont that messup the injectors?

will the compression get any higher after the car is run? remember now it sat for almost 3 years. It was running before it got parked but had a high idle (2500 - 2800). still have to check that out once i get it runnin.

sounds like starter?

The clicking is most likely a low/drained battery.

Seriously.

 

i am envious!!! though I think u gonna need to do somthing about the interior...red carpeting is just not my thing....

 

drained battery? really? i turned on the lights.. stitched to brights... they shine really bright..

the only errors im getting from my message center are parking brake and back hatch.. with is correct at the time.

hmm im gonna put the battery on the charger and see if that helps it.

Drain the radiatior??? umm where is the petcock? ha petcock.. funny word.. alot like bung, ohh sorry umm yea so really where is the drain for the rad?

im shootin for under 1000 to have a daily driver TII with 20k on the engine... looks like im gonna have money to spare.

Both of these sites have a service manual online. Be sure to follow the coolant changing procedures or you will end up with air in your system. If you change the thermostat, only use a Mazda brand thermostat, as the aftermarket thermostats are junk.

Hehehe, you will get nickel and dimed to death.

 

i plan on modding this car not all for power.. but i want to try to make it fast and reliable... some day. right now i know i need to get the reliable part out of the way (sounds easy dosent it, ha!) then move on to mods...

Like the exhaust has a hole in the pipe between the cats.
**Im gonna relpace with 3 inch catback and DP. then get a FCD.

I put a cone filter on it today. Fixed a vaccume leak (TID) while I was installing the filter.

I know the free flow will break my 1000 goal (HA!).
But I did get the car for 700 and I have about $35 extra in it now. So nickel and dimen' is ok thats how I do it.

I plan to make just about everything.. my friend has a integra he spent $16k on..(moron!) I want to kick his *** with a car for 1500 or so total invested. hell it will do that stock but im used to goin fast so if this car can impress me, Ill put some money into it.

WHAT ABOUT MY COMPESSION OF 90-95... is that good?

yea it probly has a exhuast leak that **** up the back pressure hence makin the car run like sh*t, been there don that!! replace the whole exhuast system with performance then it should run fine!!

 

it hasent ran in 3 years... was running then.. and got parked due to high idle.. (prob a vaccume leak).

looks like the hole is from sitting.

ALL the seals have been replaced and the engine has 20k on it. New axle(s)/ boot(s).
I cleaned it up more today and lookin better the more I do.

nice!! still check to exhaust though cos any little leak can screw up on how it runs, back pressure opens up ur 5 and 6th ports any leak is bad!! or could be a vac. leak!!PEACE!!

 

From your signature, it looks like you are used to fixing up cars. However, the TII RX-7 is going to nickel and dime you worse than normal, even for the basic reliability work. It's OK, but just be aware of it. Making your own components and doing your own work will help, of couse.

You should have gotten 3 readings from each rotor, something like 90/91/89. Also, your altitude and cranking speed will affect the results. The Pre-Delivery chapter of the service manual shows the standards for the Mazda test equipment. Generally, once it gets down to 75, or more than 20 psi between any of the three chambers of a rotor, your engine is toast.

 

ahh ok

looks like i got more compressin to do.
