In my 88 RX7n non turbo, the battery is dead, won't even turn the engine over. When we go to pull start it, it still won't start. Is it the battery? also, what is the part between the actuators on the intake? It was smoking the other day. Thanks for any help.

 

when my battery went i wqas driving down the road and shifted...BOOM... it died!!! i coasted off the road... hitchhiked to work...ohhh how i remember that day!!! should have turned off headlights!!!
explain more about the smoke??? maybe an exhaust leak??

 

my car wouldnt pull start when my alternator went out, just take it to schucks or whatever and have them run the tests on your alternator

 

the smoke was coming out of the partin the middle of that piece i unpluged it and it stop smokeing and as soon as i plug it back in it smokes

 

Assuming no other problems, if your battery is dead and you can't start it by pushing, it's probably your alternator (or, possibly, a bad connection).

 

A picture would help. Are you referring to the Air Flow Meter, the large component in the intake pipe? If the smoke is coming from the connector, you may have a short or a loose connection in your electrical system somewhere. Check all the battery cables at all points to make sure they are tight and not corroded internally. Tug on them as well as checking the bolts/nuts for tightness. Check the connections at the alternator also.

Post a picture if you can. That will likely get you more definitive help.

 

ok thanks i can see what i can do to post a pic the cam seams to not work right
