Damn, today I was driving my car for fun and it started lagging. Then it died and didnt want to start, and this has been happening and seemed like my car is getting weaker when its running. so i was scarred i did something wrong. I got it started but it lagged a lot. I got back home and was so afraid I did something wrong, and checked all my connections and for voltage and i get 12.5v to the fuel pump. I get back in the car and crank it and it wont start. And at this time I was getting frustrated and was thinking it is over. I got scarred thinking that i fucked it up by stepping on it a little when it was lagging. I check compression and ask god "please do not let it be no compression". I check and get 95 psi. Ok, thats normally what I got ever since. I find I am not getting fuel even through the sending unit. I pull it out and the stupid hose that connects to the fuel pump is off. I put it back on and tighten the clamp really good to the point where I can't tighten it anymore. I put the fuel pump back in and crank and it starts right up and sounds hella strong. I take it out for a spin and floor it and taking it to 6000 rpm in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and push it to 5000rpm on 4th. PULLS REALLY GOOD! I drive for a bit and test the power in 3rd and fourth and it pulls really good and manged to hit 10 psi in 3rd and 4th which was only hitting 8 psi before. I drive to my friends house and have some beers. The moral of the story is that I was paranoid, and even more than a crack fiend. Well, I dont know for sure since I don't mess with the white stuff. But yea, when I got it running good again and felt the pull, I just had that joyful feeling and smile like getting laid by a hot *** chick. I LOVE MY TII.

 

nice story, I'll keep that in mind if my T2 starts acting funny. *mental note* check fuel lines at pump.

thanks again,
Ryosuke

EDIT: i actually had something similar happen. driving the car and i sliped it into 4th from 3rd very prematurely. car instantly died... pull over turn the car off, go to start it... click... nothing. AHHHH!!!! what happened. pop the hood, look around everythings ok so it seems. get back in the car turn the key VROOOM... what the hell? so i drive it directly home put it up on my lift and look at the starter. wire's just hanging off and touching it's contact... GRRRRR!!!!

 

A RX7 is only as reliable as its owner(s). (Previous included).

 

Well, im guessing being paranoid is a good thing, right? Or maybe im just a little overprotective.

 

i know how you feel man. No one quite understands!!! I'm always tripping bawlz to any new sound coming from the car, hah.

 

^yeah, ifeel that way now especially because im breaking in my new motor

 

im always constantly checking for leaks oil coolant level, hoses, just staring and looking for anything under the hood almost after every ride. haha. I guess I have put in too much work for this car and I dont want it to screw me over yet.
