I finally decided to take my 90 vert to the shop. here is the short story. it wouldnt start. i took it in. Now i have a coolant leeak(i think) and an afm sensor error i didnt get when i took it in. The guy told me the reason the car wouldnt start is because the "Green wire at the [CAS] is connected to red wire [at CAS] causing back feed." i had them fax me a wire diagram. sure enough, thats the way it is supposed to be. the refused to refund my money. A class action suit is in progress.....

 

Rule Number 1- Do Not Go to the Dealer. EVER!

 

Rule numbe 2- See rule number 1.

 

Rule number 3 - Dealership's are usually gay.

Case in point.

Good luck in the future!

 

Rule #3 get a haynes manual and read it till you can quote it!

 

rule #4: Don't go to the dealership. Ever. Except for parts. Or if they have someone there that owns 3 rx-7s (and now 1 rx-8) and fixed your annoying hesitation issue over the phone in 10 seconds, when numerous posts on the forum and many calls to many places couldn't solve it.

 

hell yea sue those bastards!!

 

what the hell are you people talking about? go get yourself involved in a scam and get a lawsuit! heh, i'm down for suing some greedy lying bastards. and i'm not even big on suing. but people ripping people off toots my horn the wrong way! hehe, well put. thank you.

 

Rule #5, listen to casio, I like his thinking!

 

dealerships can actually work on rx-7's?? dammn...

Here is what a dealership is going to do..

1st.. diagnose the problem.
2nd.. diagnose another problem
3rd.. consult the FSM (readily available to whomever thanks to scott89TII i believe)
4th.. follow the FSM steps for remedy
5th.. when that doesn't fix it.. they'll hit it with a hammer
6th.. charge you for labor and parts you didn't need

simply put.. the FSM is what they are going to consult if they don't work on rx-7's and happen to know them inside and out.. which is open source knowledge..

 

You forgot the part where they "fix" something and take it for a test drive, a.k.a. race as many people you can, around the block while the radio is up at full volume.
