92 RX7 won't start, top plugs fouling
Took car out of storage after 6 months and smoked on start up, cleared itself and ran fine to the house, 50 k miles on rebuilt motor woked fine when put in storage . Brougt car to garage and had problem starting and smoked up the garage on start up was told by machanic.
Brought car home on a rough idle, tried to go down the road and had trouble getting up a steep hill, losing power but idled well. Plugs were bad and just got new ones to see if that was a fix. Now car won't stay running and blows smoke. Top plugs fouling, lower plugs clean! have gas and spark. Can anyone help me, please |
Start with compression check. If that checks out, it sounds like you trailing coils aren't firing. get out that FSM or haynes and test them.

I would say most 1992 fc's are very hard to start, you know since THEY DONT EXIST. But hey what do i know?

I think all 92's were just left over 91's... don't quote me on that though.

This is similar to the problem we had with a car here. Kept fouling plugs like crazy. Turned out to be weak spark. So check the coils, and also check to make sure that you are getting spark from all 4 wires/sparkplugs. |
a 92 did exist, but was never offered in the USA from what ive read.

yeah 92 is when they changed over to the fd in japan i beleive, dont quote me on that though;). But i beleive the 92 was produced in like oct 1991 fc and then givin the 92 year name. im not sure on that either though;)

Then they immediately brought out the FD in 92 also. I would do a full tune up. Spark plugs, oil, fuel injectors, ignition coils, and then try it out. If still, then check out the compression. |
