partly a "problem" from the factory but probably due to an aged engine that floods easily, combined with old injectors.

could be a combonation of things... leaky injectors, cracked/worn seals, so on... Id say make the cut off switch and check your compression when you get a chance to do so. and if i were you id start saving for a rebuild, not that you need it now, but it is enevitable so prepair for it.

Get your injectors cleaned. Sometimes even the inkjectors on relatively new engines will flood if they aren't cleaned.

I just got my injectors cleaned by http://www.witchhunter.com/. I got super lucky seeing how they were close to me, and I should be getting the injectors back in the next few days. They even sent me a usps tracking number. So far I am VERY pleased with them, and I havnt even got my injectors back yet! haha I will let ya know how they turn out when they get here. (im guessing tuesday) I think I get a data sheet showing the before and after comparison of spray pattern and things like that.

*excited*

Although I wont be able to tell if there was any improvement because I didnt get to run the engine before I Sent them out to get cleaned, the guy did have a fuel cut switch in the car. If I dont have to ever use it then Im going to go ahead and guess that it was a bad injector(s).

It was only like 17$ each shipped off to witchhunger when it was over $30 each locally.

Just some random advice I thought I would send your way. Take it as you will.

I still cant find my drift wipers, found my drift air vent covers with my ninja trap. If you ever need to catch drift ninjas just put a "Drift King" sticker infront of a stuffed pirate. They will run up to grab the sticker cause they cant tell its a pirate till they grab the sticker and turn around. Then the drift ninja part will become stunned. At this time it is safe to grab the part. I have only seen it fail once, and that was because the drift arm rests are smarter than humans.

*I am not responsible for stuffed pirate bite marks. Do any of the above at your own risk*

I always think on such a low level, but couldn't it be electrical? I had two vehicles that had a hot start problem, both ended up needing new ignition coils. But I imagine that it could even be plug wires. Electrical stuff doesn't seem to work as well at higher temperatures (metal expands, less density means decreased conductivity)

man you an i have the same problem, i drive my 7 for a while and when i try to start it it wont start, the only way it starts is't pushing the car or wait like 20 minutes or 30 and then it starts, ive checked the injectors, checked the starter and they're fine. if you fixed yours let me know what you did.

It sounds like a hot start problem (obviously). Here's a good thread with information on it. https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/looking-car-has-hot-start-problems-499744/

For all those people making fun of him (TweakGames), you really should grow up. It's pretty sad when you're making fun of someone for being immature when you're acting even more so. You also might want to learn what the word "drift" means. Believe it or not, there's more than one meaning for the word.



Like you've never said anything noobish.
