Lately i have been hearing this constant tick inside of engine bay. Well, i found its the starter (i think) and the car was not turning on properly so i got under the car and banged the starter a couple of times with a wrench. go try and start the car..... Riiiiight I can't even hear the solonoid click. When i do get the car started if i dont hold the gas pedal down for 10 secs it will stall right out. I am really thinkin of selling this thing. Any ideas? please

Suggestions? Dont bang things with a wrench to fix them Seriously though I have no clue.

 

usually if you bang starters it gets them working. Oh well like i care that one was a POS

 

Could be a poor connection at the starter and/or bad starter in general. As for the not running if you don't hold the gas pedal down, that could be a number of things. Have you checked for error codes at all? Compression? Leaky injectors?

 

Man, sounds like my car. Ill set the idle to 1400 (wont run anything lower) and it'll go to ******* 6K.. then stall out, then ill crank it, go to like 500, then 2000. The timing sets itself along with the TPS. Rx7s are just about a pain in the *** once they start giving you trouble. Sorry, had to vent

 

Compression should be fine. Leaky injectors would cause flooding right? Well it doesn't smoke upon start up. Just normal exhaust.

I'll jack up the car and take off the starter and then put it on again. tighten everything up. But i doubt it.

 

My Tps changes whenever it feels like it.

I want to ****** drive my car off a cliff

 

Something to try. Check for error codes, maybe you have a vac leak, those things cause hard starting (where using the gas pedal can usually get it started)

 

Damn, thats the thing Sonic. My error codes say its the water temp sensor. I replaced it and it keeps saying the water temp sensor.... and i can't get any further.

****

 

Water temp sensor, or water thermo sensor? Regardless, have you checked the resistance AT the ECU? Perhaps the wires are bad and that's causing your problem/

 

water thermo sensor. No i have no checked the resistance. but someone told me to do that so i guess i will do that next.

Damn Rx-7s

 

you guys are lucky at least your car somewhat runs im going on round 3 on replacing the intake manifold gasket...

 

LMFAO, im on round FOUR replacing the ENGINE.
