I have an 88 se with 95k and a new eng have had no problems but it is becoming hard to start when I turn the key it takes 5 to 10 sec to start any ideas what it can be the eng has 10k on it and is strong

 

uhmm... you wouldn't happen to have recently tightened the belts on it... would you?

'cause I overtightened mine, and then it wouldn't start....

But thats prolly cause I'm a dumbass...

Is it hard to start when warm, cold, or always?

 

more so when its hot

 

Did you put new injector or cleaned injectors in there?

 

Time to install a fuel cut switch, perhaps you're flooding a tad bit too much.

 

Mine did the same thing and for a while it got worse, until one day the starter took a crap. Ever since i got a new starter, it's been fine. 2 years ago.

 

Next time you get the engine running, check to see if the bac is functional. At idle pull its plug off and see if there is a change in rpm. Or turn the a/c on and see if the rpms pickup a touch. The bac circuit is a part of your startup circuit.

See this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...threadid=90515 Its the last response by Akageals that is pertinent.

No guarantees. Just a possibility.
