I drive a 90' Rx7 w/ a 13B non turbo. Here's the problem. My rx7 starts, idles fine, but as soon as i put it in drive, it stalls and floods. I have no clue what to do. Any ideas? I really appreciate your help. thanks

 

anybody?

 

Fuel filter?

 

I would make sure your plugs/wires/coilpacks were in good shape.

 

plugs, wires, and coilpacks are all new. I figured it wouldnt be the fuel filter if it idles?

 

DUDE..if the car can get enough Fuel to Start,it Will..if it Can't Suck enough fuel from the Tank to Run the car past IDLE..then I am leaning towards fuel Filter.you've already Replaced the plugs,wires etc..The other thing that I would look at is whether the Trailing wires are on correctly,.,but you haven't mentioned that the car Misses on idle or Backfires Under load.

 

I see what your saying. I'm going to look over the spark plug wires just for the hell of it, and pull off the fuel filter. It didnt miss when it was idling, but now it wont start. turns over, but wont start. The thing is I broguht the car home a week ago and it has sat in storage all winter.

 

Then By all means..Check the compression..If it Sat awhile then the seals may be sticking,and that Could be a Factor there.You never mentioned that It Won't Start now(be specific)..so,#1 check compression,#2:If that is good,then Replace fuel Filter.#3:..make sure that the Fuel lines are on Correctly,and the wires are on correctly..you should also,RIGHT NOW,check the plugs and See if they are WET.If they are Wet then you are getting Fuel,But it Depends on HOW MUCH Fuel you are getting too.It Factors down to alot of stuff.(Injectors?)..it's just hard to "diagnose" an Engine when it's not in front of you.

 

pulled the plugs, they are wet. I have to go to work now, but I'll check the rest of that tomorrow. It just started not starting. Thank you for all of your input so far, i do greatly appreciate it

 

you are Most Welcome!..it is rare to see a "thank you"..so I was kind of What the heck is that?..haha!..I hope the Info Helps you.and if you need any Factory service manual info..try PF SANTOS..he has the FSM in his Signature!

 

Check the vac lines to the injector bleeds as well. My car (a stick, but stalled under load) did a very similar thing when those vac lines were cracked.

 

check the AFM too........maybe a wire disconect.

luck
