Help!!!!!!!!!Car wont stay on!!!!!!!!!!
Alright here's the problem. I just finish putting in my motor and gearbox In my 1987 turbo II Rx7. Everything is 1987 turbo II, And I know the motor is a good motor because It came out of my Best Friends car. Just to get that out of the way. I'm getting spark, plugs and wires are new. Car Cranks but does not turn over unless i spray a little starter fluid in the upper intake manifold. Then even after it starts it shuts off within 3-5 seconds. Now understand that I am extremely new to this rotary business, da only way I got my motor and gearbox in the car is because i can read. LOL. But seriously my car has a walbro 255 lph fuel pump, hks fcd, hks supermega flow intake, brand new clutch i just put in the car alone with the motor and gearbox, 2 1/2 inch exhaust piping from turbo to stock barrells. My car has no ac, no power steering, no air pump, no abs, no heat. Oh and if it helps, I know that my fuel pump is working. If you could help me out with my car I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

look at the plugs, are they wet with gas. If your cranking and cranking and there is no gas on the plugs, you are not getting gas.
If you are not getting gas check you fuses in you engine bay labeled EGI
If you are getting gas, it might be flooded. This happened to me, some one told me to go to this site. http://www.rx7.com/tech/unflood-fc.html. It worked for me.

I believe the line that is sending fuel to the line, connects up with the pulsation damper and the return comes out from the FPR.

check the harness ground... ITs on the engine harness. ITs a ground with 2 wires and loop type connector... Make sure its grounded or the ecu wont get power... This is missed often and even by me which I've installed and removed the motors countless times.

Fuel injectors are not firing or the fuel lines are indeed backwards.
I would try and confirm that the primaries are firing and fuel is shooting out of them during cranking...

well
is your mass air flow syncer pluged in? or have a full connection ?
all so check your fuzes just in case, the ones around the motor and the ones under the dash , make shure your thrtal syncers a good one in your hayns manual it will show you how to take a olms meter and use it to tell if any of your syncers are good or not . hope this helps

All fuses are good. plugs are dry but can you help me figure out more about the harness ground?? where exactly is it??? where does it ground to? also about these lines being backward??? When I crank the car you do not smell gas at all. Also if the ecu is not grounded/or grounded properly would that cause the injectors not to work while cranking to start the car?????????????????????????????????????

I think I'm addicted
giant vaccum leak like what I had?
make sure u tighten the bolts on the Upper intake manifold and BAC valve
that i think was what got me to spend a WHOLE day on getting my car up and running

I'm thinking ReTed and numerous others are right, that you reversed your fuel lines. If your plugs are dry, you're not getting fuel into the engine at all. There's two possiblities: Your fuel lines are reversed, or your injectors are not firing.
The fuel line thing is pretty easy, try to reverse thema nd see if it works.
The injectors go directly to the ECU, so its unlikely that there's a problem with them, unless they weren't plugged in. The only ones firing will be the primaries, so you can ignore the secondaries.
Just FYI, I didn't see if thie ground question was answered or not, so it's the ground that's about a foot long, it goes from the middle-top of the firewall, down to the engine, underneath one of the throttlebody support tabs. screw it in there. Good luck tomorrow

quick before i get started again
I have a 1987 turbo II j-spec motor. you think its the fuel lines??? because the feed line that comes from the fuel filter i put it to the higher fuel line. and the return to the bottom one. Let me know if that was smart or if I have to switch them around. Maybe the feed to the bottom and the return to the top. Let me know. THANKS
