Im looking to buy an 88 turbo2 rx7 from a guy that lives like an hour away. He said the car has a fresh rebuilt engine in it and new 1 piece apex seals. The rebuild only had 30 miles on it right now its also completely stock! The only problem im having is he said it sounds like a vacuum leak and it has some trouble accelerating. Is this a serious problem? or do you guys think its something little? i know its hard to tell but give me some idea of what it could be please.

 

are you for sure that theres a fresh rebuild under that hood? does he have any documents on the rebuild?

 

why would you put 1 piece apex seals on a stock setup?

 

^ thats what i was thinking

 

idk if he has any papers and for the 1 piece seal idk i think cause he said it was easier to install?

 

The Vaccum leak is an easy fix. The accelerating issue could be multiple things, Coil not grounded,tps adjustment, vac leak,TID cracked, bad ground,dirty injectors ect. Check the troubleshooting page in the FSM.

 

dam i really wish this car was closer

 

i drive a 1990 turbo 2 and i had the same problem check the connection on you bov
