~The car wont even start, it dose turn over
~The times it did start..it wouldnt hold an idle..and later die
~ The car would shake at 800 Rpm
~the responce with the engine is horribal.
~when he drives it his foot is all the way down.
~he has to manualy turn on the fuel pump via switch
~thier is a crack in the exaust.
~when he got an oil change the oil smelled of gas.

(things done to the car)

~Optima Yellow top Battery [ i felt generous and i bought it for him]
~new spark plugs
~new wires
~oil change
~ cleaned ingectors [they were cloged under air pressure up to 100 pounds]

Any help would greatly be appreciated. My friend has been car-less for over 6 months.

Remember that the fuel pump is really rigged up. it is manualy turned on by a house light switch.

Thanks

start checking vacume lines

 

ya i would say vaccum lines but with 180k on an engine that doesnt sound like its been taken care of.....you not gona have much luck with anything

 

TII Conversion!

 

by the way...were on a extreamly tight budget

 

sell the car, rx7's are not cheap cars to maintain, your gonna spend 500 alone on maintenance stuff

 

It sounds like the motor is pretty much shot. Do a compression test using a piston tester. Put it in the trailing plugs and pull the EGI fuses. If you get below about 80-85 then thats probably the problem.
Also, the fuel cut switch is normal. Many people install them to help prevent flooding.
