How do i check the omp and oil lines?? And some other question from a Newbie
 
I know this question has been ask many times, but since I am new and can't effort the factory manuel yet so I am asking for help. I just got a FC a few days ago, the car runs great and I love the car. I am planing to do a tune up on the car. I have a couple of questions that I am hoping to get some answers on. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the questions
Is there any thing that I can put in the oil that can clean the oil injectors?
If there is any way of cleaning the oil injector without taking it out?
Is there any ways of checking the condition of the oiling system?
Where is the oil filter?
Is safe to use throttle body cleaner on a rotary engine?
How to clean the Bavc valve?
I know that is a lot of questions but i intent to keep the car running as nice as i can help it. So again any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!:D

Go to this site for a downloadable FSM, http://www.iluvmyrx7.com/ its free and the best manual for the Rx-7.
Dont buy the haynes manual its a waste of money, I have it, I never use it.
im sure other people are more qualified to answer your questions than me.
Good luck with your new car.

No and no.

What exactly do you want to check? Make sure you use quality oil and filters, and make sure there's always good oil pressure.

Where is the oil filter?
Left rear of the engine. It's not exactly hidden...

Is safe to use throttle body cleaner on a rotary engine?
Yes. Apart from the insides of the motor, nearly everything about these cars is very conventional and can be treated like any other car.

How to clean the Bavc valve?
Take it off and squirt lots of carb cleaner in it.

Download the FSM and study it. The answers to half the questions asked on this forum are already in there. ;)

BTW, the Haynes is not a waste of money. It covers things in a much more user friendly way than the FSM, plus is has photos that are often much clearer than the FSM's sketches. I highly recommend both.

Like NZconvertible said - I use both also.

I have a mirror FTP site with the manuals.
Free is good - right?
The link is in my sig below..

Fitness Stain 09-04-03 01:14 PM

but ive never seen an rx-7 manual in any of our local parts stores here....
although after checking there site, it appears the place they print them here in tennessee is right down the freaking road.....im gonna see if i can save the shipping and just go pick one up from there

1987RX7guy 09-04-03 01:16 PM

lol I live in a small city and every shop has atleast one manual on the rack. ;)

Thank you for the quick response!!
 
Thank you for the quick response!! By the way i was looking for the fuel filter. I guess i was getting to use to typeing oil filter. So if any one can tell me where the fuel filter is that would be great!!

1987RX7guy 09-04-03 01:52 PM

Drivers side. Close to the firewall down low.

Fitness Stain 09-04-03 02:00 PM

the fuel filter is a bitch to get to from what i remember screwing around with mine....

its on the drivers side way down in the back somewhere
im going to try to relocate mine so its easier to get to....

1987RX7guy 09-04-03 02:01 PM

It's very easy to get to from underneath.

twistedriver 09-06-03 12:18 AM

Yes is very true the fuel filter is very easy to get to from under the car. I just changed my transmission mount today. I hate those damn rubber mounts!! But the Mazda girl at the dealer ship was cute. And oh my car don't vibrate as much. But hesitates so maybe i will change the fuel filter tomorrow so i don't kill my engine. Again thanks for the replys!
