This is my 5th rx-7, and it shames me that i have to post and ask for help.

Anyways, 5 days ago i was at 55 mph in cruise control, and the engine starts dying so i give it gas to keep it going long to enough to pull over. At that point i notice i have an oil leak on the front cover, so i stop there, and get the car towed home.

I removed the ps/ ac/ bracket and then the front cover, put down some black RTV, cleaned it all up nice and let it dry. The next day i go to crank it and it jumps up to maybe 1100rpm and dies again, and gets flooded over and over. It sounded as if the airlow meter was telling it to dump 2 much fuel. I also noticed oil was all over half the vacuum nest and the solenoids were covered. good thing is the oil pressure was back up to 35 psi at while cranking.

so i spend that night and the next day pulling off all the emissions junk appling black rtv and capping off everything, this is my 3rd emissions removal and 2nd time doing it to an 88 turbo engine...

But it is still doing that same thing! catching for a few turns jumping up and dying again.

I have replaced the airflow meter with a working spare, new spark plugs, wires checked to FSM spec.

Went threw deflooding precedures. checked compression( even stong pulles comparable to the rebuilt motor i had. restabbed the CAS twice, bout to check it again...

Probably a dumb question but did you check the ground wires on the upper manifold bracket ?

they were secure before emissions removal, and redone after. i have spark i have fuel i have compression, bough to put some atf and see if its just really flooded.
