hesitation problems
I have 87 rx7 non turbo. the car drives fine untill i get it at 4,000rpm then it bucks, acts like its not getting gas, so i changed the fuel filter and its still doing the same thing, and i also changed the plugs but nothing helpd any suggestions would be great. Also i was wondering if i removed the cat and put a glass pack there instead if that would be ok for my car as my new exhuast doesnt sound any better then my original one, i just dont kno if i remove the cat if itll mess up the motor as im new to these cars and dont wanna do anything to kill my car. thanks for the help

the hesitation is from the secondary injectors failing to come on at 3800rpms. it's actually very common (my car does it as well) . most of the time it's a grounding problem where the engine isn't grounded to the body well enough i believe. as for the glasspack, rotary exhaust is supposed to be a lot hotter than regular piston engines which can melt most glasspacks, so i've heard. hope i answered your questions. and if that wasn't clear enough you could always search, just type in something like 3800 hesitation.

i'd check the grounds before you even think about buying new injectors, they can be quite expensive. and a "test pipe" instead of a cat will be much better than a glass pack.
you're very welcome.

I had a hesitation close to yours. It ended up being the ground under the intake manifold. As for your exhaust, I have a test pipe off of a stock exhaust manifold running to the drivers side with one cheap $80 Pilot muffler. Most mufflers that are made will blow out because of the heat. The muffler I got sounds good, but didnt cost me a lot and if it blows out and sounds like **** one day I wont feel bad about spendin such littler cash. I hope this helps!

All this talk about injectors and shiit. Did you forget about the 5th/6th port actuators that open up at 3800 rpm's and uses the back pressure from the exhaust? I would check the actuators to make sure theyre working right. That shoulda been checked first!!

I've a 87 non turbo that the only thing that stopped the hesitation was going to the ECU plugs and finding the ground wires. Traced the ground wires up the harness til I found where they all three splice together. At that point I soldered a new wire to all three of the gnd wires and put a ring terminal on the other end of the new wire. Attached the ring terminal to one of the studs that hold the bracket for the ECU in place.
I can make hesitation come and go by just removing this single new wire from the bracket. This might work for you, might not. Very little money involved. New injectors are not the way to go in my humble opinion.

if you remaove the cat make sure you have a place to put the pipe for the 5th/6th port actuators that get the pressure from the cat. and that could also cause the hesitation.
