I have a 1988 NA Model RX-7 (manual), and it currently would not crank when ignition is turn. It happen when I was idling the car for less done 10 minutes, then shut it off purposely, then listen to radio while I wait for my girlfriend, and when I turn the key nothing happen.
I check the battery, it was good. Check all the fuses, it was good I check the clutch switch it was okay. In order for me to get the car home, I jumper the big positive post from the starter to the small spade terminal beside it while the ignition is on the ON position. By dong this, it tell me the starter is fine its just not getting signal either from the starter relay or nothing is giving signal to the relay. I replaced the relay (hope this is the one beside the trailing coil) with the one I got from the wreckyard, still no good. I need to know what else has to be in closed position beside the clutch switch when cranking. Maybe someone can help me up and provide me the starting circuit diagram for his model or some location I need to be looking into.

Thank you guys in advance!

Does the car have the factory alarm installed?

from what i deciphered from your post. sounds like you flooded your engine. let it warm up all the way before shutting it off.

Give the starter housing a smack with a wrench and then try to turn it over. May have to do this two or three times. If this works you have a flat spot in the starter and it needs rebuilt or replaced!

I don't think this car comes with a factory alaram.
