OK! for the life of me...
lets start here, I purchased a 1986 Rx-7 GX
from an autowreckers for 600 dollars. I am
not naieve into buying a car that is hopeless
and this is why i purchased it. It turned over,
everything and i mean everything electrical
worked in it including power side view mirrors.
All engine components were present so I
thought it would be alot! easier! than it is!.

The spark plugs were done, so I replaced them,
still not igniting. replaced the old gasoline in
the engine, replaced the fuel pump because
afterwards i checked to see if it was working,
it was not. so i paid 250 goddamn dollars for
that and it turns out the wiring to the pump
has no power. **** off, so i booster the fuel
pump with another battery. worked fine and
it actually can get the car started long enough
for it to rev up to 2000-2500 rpm and it quits.

I've come to the conclusion there may be a
break in the wire. Or possibly the Computer is
toast? very effin hoping thats not the case.
Im one step away from taking it into the dealership
but i thought i should ask here first...

any other suggestions people?

Got to check the compression. you had it running for a bit. stick a fuel pressure gage on the bastard and monitor it. pinch the return and make sure the fuel pump can increase the pressure. Ummm. you can try pulling codes as well. Hope this helps. I got to get offline. Good luck.

make sure fuel is getting through the injectors. they could be clogged... or stuck wide open and flooding it for that matter

how can i tell the injectors are clogged. have **** tonnes of dirt on them? like most other things...lol
