88 rx7 drifting problems
 

my rx7 will cut out in the middle or the beggining of a drift i need help to fix this problem because it is just horrible some one out there please quote on this

Would you describe exactly what you're talking about? Just saying it cut out isn't enough info for anyone to help.

no power no more eccel and it takes a second to kick power back in and its like a drift governer or something as soon as i get into a drift i will steadly be on gas but it just cuts out man i dont know its weird

maybe a fuel shut off swith is triped or somthing

info on the car?

is it low on fuel? could be starvation.....

no i will have full tank and i just replaced fuel filter

I know this is a dumb question but, ABS? More stats on the car.

Are you just starting to drift or is this a new development? (Hopefully you're being safe.)

Yes, its the drift governor. Unplug it.

:rlaugh:

But really, is your clutch slipping? Is it possible you have no idea what your doing?

when does it happen? drifting left or right? after all, when you drift gravity does work, and the gas tends to go all to one side of the tank.
check out the whole fuel system
pump
lines
pulsation dampner
injectors
... is your gas cap on ?

yeah cluth slipping would be like power being cut... but the engine would still rev, and if he was smoking the clutch... he'd get some smoke and a bad stink inside the car

no clutch slip and yes my gas cap is on and yes i know what i am doing god you guys are hateful my car does it both ways and when it happens the rpms go down to zero and after they reach zero thats when i get power agian

i will check my fuel line in the tank maybe thats what it is

hateful? were just asking questions to get a better idea of whats possibly to blame.
seems like its loosing fuel pressure somewhere

where is the drift plug govener located lol i was using as ex.

what would that be caused by

check the sock inside the pump, and make sure your tank isn't full of rust...this sounds like a similar problem we had with our race car....the sock would get clogged up and cause starvation

ok thanks and presh i will check now

i cant figure out where its located isnt it suposed to be in drvers side storage bin?

the fuel pump access is under the carpet in the rear hatch on the drivers side of the car. its an aluminum piece with wires going into it. take the cover off then take the cover off the tank and lift the pump out. the sock will be on the pump. if you do want to drain your tank and try to clean it out, there is a bolt under the car on the pass side on the tank to drain it.

thank you sir i presh

Is it during all kinds of initiations or during only one kind? My friend had a similar problem but only when he clutch kicked or used other abrupt means of initiation. It turned out to be a bad ground for something in the ignition or injectors i think.

allright it happens after i pop the clutch it will start spinning the tires and i will get into a drift and it will almost like stall. I took the info and found the fuell pump and all that but im going to mess with that when my gas get lower i just filled up my tank.

There is a baffle inside the fuel tank in which the fuel pump assembly sits. If this baffle has detached itself and is now rattling around in the tank, the pump will be starved for fuel when the car turns (fuel sloshes to the other side of the tank).

Also, it would be very helpful if you could type in proper complete sentences with capitalization and correct spelling. It can be hard to understand what someone is saying when you can barely read what they are typing.

My votes on the fuel sock. I keep having problems with this myself. You need to replace the sock, and check the level of rust in the gas tank. If theres too much rust, and you replace the fuel sock, it will work fine for a month, or two, and then your problem will come back.

Anybody know how much mazda wants for a gas tank?
