Posted in the newbie area but there are on average 5 people going through there versus 30+ here.

Bought my RX-7 which was sitting for 6 months, and it didn't run. Did an oil change, put new spark plugs in and a new battery, seafoam in the gas tank, and it ran, not amazing but it ran and was getting better as the seafoam ran though. I drove it around, and after the motor warmed up it would stall when I stopped. When I pulled back into my alley, I had to back in my stall and to prevent it from stalling I was going to stop fast, feather the throttle to keep the car running then back into the stall. I did my quick stop after pushing the clutch in and being in neutral, the car still stalled.

The symptoms of the car are now similar to having the main fuse unplugged. The car cranks, but it won't start, and the electric fan just runs and the temperature warning light is on.

Where should I start?

 

1.compression check

2.vac leak? Check all the small vac lines and replace if necessary

3.Do you have a FSM?

 

No. but the not starting issue isn't because of a vacuum leak

 

unflooding procedure

change plugs

check TPS and other sensors, see FSM in FAQ

 

It's not flooded...I already fixed that? it ran until I pulled a hard stop?

Looked at this thread, it might be my issue.

The only problem is I don't know where the grounds are so I can check it. Would anyone be able to tell me where they are?

 

There is a main ground that touches the firewall under the vin #. I'm talking about the large vin on the firewall.

 

Here is a link to the fsm

 

I did the VIN one and nothing changed. as well as the one by the main fuse box (Although they were very corroded/rusty,, no more!)
