check the battery cables and both ends of each connection, then check the alternator wiring for chafing, broken wires or loose contacts or corrosion, lastly check the ignition switch. if it's none of those then it is somewhere in the harness likely and the nightmare begins.

Common problem. Fuel starvaton during hard left turns. The fuel pump inlet filter is varnished over or clogged with dirt etc. Either buy a new one or put the filter in some acetone overnight and blow it out with a air hose.

Thread closed... covered in the FAQfor FC sticky thread found at the top of this, the 2nd gen RX-7 technical section.

Please read the FAQ for FC sticky thread before posting. It has many of the commonly asked questions, such as the one that started this thread.

If you had read that thread before posting you would have found that your problem is commonly found on cars witha dirty fuel pump sock. Clean or replace the fuel pump sock.

Thread closed.
