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?

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.
