Interested to see what you find out

 

Updates?

 

won't be back to work on it until sunday at the earliest.

sorry, I will update then.

 

good luck and may the rotors be with you

 

hurry up and update because i have the same problem with my 89 tooo...

 

Im sorry for the delay. My Intrepid had to be put in the shop; Im in the process of moving; my workload has doubled because we had a guy quit;that guy also happens to be the one with the coil packs.

I bought new wires but it seems that wasn't the issue. As soon as I get paid next week, Im going to purchase some new packs(if thats what they are called).

Fuel filter was changed too, and it wasnt that either. PLENTY of fuel is getting to the engine.

I travel for a living so Im gone for up to a week at a time. When I am home I spend most of my time with my 7 yr old son. Every chance I get, I sneak off to the RX7 and tinker with it. I will update as I get things done.

Thanks,
R0meo

 

i have an update finally i replaced the starter cause it was going out and hoped that would fix it but no also replaced the fuel pump and still nothing i have spark and the rest but the engine just wont turn over at all and the other day it said my oil pressure was through the roof

 

LATE UPDATE!

I have been moving(bought a house), buying and trading cars. Still have the RX7 though. Me and a freind worked on it last night and it seems the fuel pump isnt working. I checked it with a volt meter and it seems to be getting power.

 

Congrats on your house. And it's good you kept your 7. Get that baby running and post back

 

Update:

The engine is bad. I got a new fuel pump and it started. It runs for about 10 mins and gets hot.. The cat is glowing bright orange. I guess Im going to go turbo.

 

Cat could be clogged.

 

True, put the LOUD clanking noise in the engine makes me think it may be more.


Any suggestions where to get a 13b turbo engine and everything I need to make the swap?

I have searched, but didnt find a thread with the "best" or "cheapest" sites. So far the only pricing I can find is at RX7world.
