Question Engine problems

I recently purchased two 86' RX-7 GXL's, but they both have the same trouble. There was only one owner before me and he says that they both just stopped running out of no where at 150,000 miles. I dont know if this is just something wrong on the motor or something simply neds changed or if i am going to have to rebuild, so any help would be greatly appreciated, so if you have had the same problem and fixed it and can help let me know, thanks!

Congrats on buying the pair. How much did you get them for and how long had they been sitting prior to yoru purchase, you may get lucky and they might just be flooded if it was recently.

I got them for free, i was going to have to pay a holding fee the guy owed but he payed it so it was free, i think they have been sitting for like 4 or 5 years now, but they have been moved every other month and been cleaned and what not. I am anxious to get them running, because he told me how much fun they were, but anyway i got them free because my friends dad owns them and he just wants to get rid of them. If you want to see one of em you can check out my cardomain site. It is http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2180490 , thanks for the help!
