I just got my 1988 RX-7 Turbo II 5 days ago and I have everything has gone wrong. The car is not turning over (starting) at all for me. I keep cranking on the engine but never a start. I have learned to take out the egi fuse, then start it, but something is wrong with the car. I even spent about 150 dollars for the Mazda dealership to do absolutely nothing. They soposedly ran a diagnostic but found nothing wrong. The car keeps flooding and I am so damn frustirated. They said it might be something with the compression, but they wanted 100 more. I basically said, **** it and left.

 

try doing a compressoin test your self its pretty easy or do the ATF trick

 

at least you dont have family and friends bitching about the care. its too loud. it vibrates too much. the suspension is too hard. it takes too much gas. i would have never bought it. you should sell it. etc..blah blah blah. i just want to punch them in the head. dont worry you are not alone.

 

omg razorback you feel my pain.

 

thanks razorback for your understanding: I hear "I would have never bought that" and "you should sell it" also

 

rule 1. don't go to a mazda dealership with your car
rule 2. find a local rotary shop
rule 3. don't go to a mazda dealership with your car

 

unfortunately i do. and one of the guys bitching is the guy i talked about in this thread.

he keeps bitching about the sound. im like its bridgeported dumbfuck its suppose to be loud. he is like it rides to stiff. i said its god sport suspension. it takes too much gas, its bridgeported and not tuned properly, i know i have to fix it. you over paid you should sell it. or its mickey moussed when reffering to the engine bay. i told himt hat it had emissions and the ac removed of course its going to have some wire harnesses loose. he just kept bitching and knocking the rotary. when before he said he didnt know anything about them. if i have to listen to him anymore i will end up punching him in the head or telling him to go **** himself. and the cluth is acting weird right now which i am in the process of fixing. i just have to vent. its been a long day. and that ****** didnt help.

 

i feel a little better now. but im still pissed.

razorback, same here with all the problems w/ my first 7 my dad nearly killed me when i rolled up with another. But after I let him drive it he shut up.

 

the guys will change their mind after i get it professionally tuned and the clutch fixed.

 

Hah my parents were exactly the same way. My dad kinda shut up about his truck being faster when he saw some tail lights.... hehe.

Anyways, back on topic. You are a) not unflooding it enough or b) have more than 1 apex seals per rotor blown out. Tow start the car.

Edit: and get rid of that giant weight in the hatch area

 

my car has a fuel shut off switch. it works wonders.
