2 problems

1) every once and a while when I start my car it'll die. But then if I start it up again it'll run alright. It has never died 2 times in a row.

2) Everyonce in a while my car will beep and a warning light will go off. I don't know what warning light because it goes on and off too quickly. It happens randomly, when I'm stopped, turning, going straight never in one situation. It could be the seatbelt for all I know

It hasn't been a problem...but I would like to stop it before it gets bad

MY temperature is fine. and my oil level is around the middle, and 30 at stops.

Have you checked for trouble codes? And don't always go by the gauges. When was the last time you checked the coolant and oil levels?

PEACE THE DOG

I'm pretty sure that the buzzer is for coolant now, because I checked it out closer and it's like an inch below the full line. I don't know if that'll fix my starting.

But one question, I'm wondering if the rotary takes any special type of coolant. Because my volkwagon can only take some certain types.......does the rotary?

its for the oil. it happened to me. it took me a while to realize what it was cause like you said it only happened every once in a while. because the rx7 burns oil with gas you can run very low very easily. especially if its burning to much oil.
