Hey there guys,
So I have an 1988 Rx7 GXL Cranks wont start. Just got the motor back From atkins rotary who just rebuilt it for me. I have an aftermarket fuel presure regulator whith a gauge, So I know I have enough pressure and fuel flow.Tested it with a HEI spark Tester and have plenty of spark. Have timed it over and over again. Hooked up a code blinker and no codes present. Not sure where to go from here. Any help with be greatly apprciated.

(also starts sometimes but dies right away when I put a bit of ATF in the housing)

hey i know this sounds stupid but mine did the same after it sat for about two weeks. i just was messing around with the plug wires pulling them off the igniter and putting them back on and then while a friend was cranking i had one off and it shot a good spark and fired right up and i put the lead back on and ran great. i dont know why it did it but it worked just try it

Recheck you fuel line routing, just in case and the afm. The engine will get fuel while cranking, but then gets it's signal from the afm once the ignition switch goes to the run position.

Btw, use motor oil, not ATF, to build compression. The ATF will wash out the assembly lube which helps protect the new parts for initial break in.

Check and make sure you got everything hooked up on your emissions harness. Also make sure that you dont have your fuel lines hooked up backwards. Did you do anything else to the car while you had the motor out?

if you spark is true, you have either a compression problem or a fuel problem. you need to find out which one then get back to us.

just for drill put some oil in the spark plug holes

Thanks for the responses so far. Fuel lines are hooked up correctly. Have done a comppression check with my piston comp checker since its the only one I own I get around 35psi on both rotors with the valve pressed in and when released I get about 120. Have went through unflooding procedures a few times. I didn't do anything else to the car while the motor was out. Thanks for the tip on using motor oil, I was told to use ATF but I will try it with motor oil now. Anymore advice is appreciated.
