after weeks of trying to get my 86 rx7 to start i finally got it started, but their is three questions that i still have (1)during the weeks of cranking my engine the starter went out, so i had my friend push me with his car to get my 7 started, when i put my starter in will it start like it is suppose to or will i have to push it all the time.(2) my oil pressure is very low , it never goes above 30 on the guageand there is plenty of oil in there, dont see any leaks(3) When i rev the engine from outside the car i hear a pinging sound coming from the passenger side, sounds like its coming from inside the exhaust manifold or the passenger side of the engine.

by the way i have done all the things like the atf trick,help!

thanx for all you guys help

 

If u put a new starter in you won't need to push start your car... check your oil pressure sensor... and i really have no idea about the pinging.

the only reason that i had to push start it was because it would not start by cranking it(the car had been sittin for a while and would not start even after the atf and new plugs)

 

can some one help plz!!!

 

can anyone help me with these problems, i want to drive this car

 

1) New starter -> you dont have to push-start the car
2) Oil pressure: if there is enough oil (i.e dipstick to the max), then check the pump (take off -very fast - an oil line to see if oil circulates. The pressure rises only when you are on the pedal, not at idle
3) Pinging sound ? no clue whatsoever. Maybe something got unscrewed ? Or loose ?

 

Chubbrx, have you checked your PMs? And do you have AIM more MSM? I put my number in your PM box...If you want to call, I can hopefully help you.

thanx for the response, what does AIM and MSM mean???

 

AIM is Aol Instant Messenger. MSM is Microsoft messenger. Sometimes its easier to chat in order to help you with your problem.

 

no i dont think i have either of those i use quest as my internet provider- anyways i have your # and i am going to call you but i have to get a calling card since it is long distance for me-i am going to find a starter today , if my car starts by pushing it should it start when i put my new starter in
