Blue smoke(oil prob)
ummm ya sorry about all these threads i make just trying figure more out about my car and maybe wuts wrong. well before it was idling at like 0 and really rough with lots of smoke rotary guy said it was TPS which it still is i assume but i took off the tPS and reinstalled the same one just to see if it would change anything and now it starts idles low but if i rev it for a few minutes straight it warms up and idles at about 500. about 3 weeks ago i went to sac for a meet and everytime i turned it woudl buz....i didnt know why considering i was driving a nova for first car before this. so i drove to sac and back(30 minute drive each way, going about 80-90 entire way) and when i got home i check the warning lights which my boost gauge is RIGHT in front of them all just to find the oil light was on...im not sure what problems driving that far at that speed can cause so just wanting to know wut u rx7 homies thing =D thx all ^_^

how much is that to fix....can i do it myself? :O how sure r u? :)

blue smoke> oil burning> rebuild> $1000+
|
i dont think i need a rebuild already, when i took to shop he said it wasnt my apex seals. just my TPS and needed a tune up. >_> i sure hope not im broke :D
|
your TPS will screw up your idle big time. the oil seals are on the sides of the rotors, the apex seals really just seal each rotor chamber, nothing to do with oil leaks. has your 7 experinced bad flooding problems?
|
sirta when i first got it i would pump the gas to while turning key.....so i flooded it a few times. because i had to with my nova. but ya now i know not to do that -_-
how much would u say to fix it. tps my mechanic guy said 50 bucks 35 for tps and 15-20 to install and set |
oh ok, that's not bad. some people have really bad flooding problems that the gas can get past the side seals and eat away at the oil seals themselves. 50 bux for a replaced tps and tune isn't bad.
