okay i bought this my 87 FC for almost a year.... i bought this car as a project... and now i am about to get my driver license, and i want my car fixed so i can drive it. but the thing is that i do not know what is wrong if the car... So im pretty much asking if someone wouldnt mind coming to my house and tell me whats wrong with my car exactly. if some can that would be AWESOME!

 

asking this is kinda like calling a hooker and telling her u cant pay, but still need 2 get one out.

u initaly bought this car as a project, if u have had it for 6+months and knew u where getting your licence soon you should have
1: got a job
2: read up on all possiable 2ed gen rx7 matierial u could find

or
b1: got another car

i dont mean 2 sound like 2 dick, i feel your pain man, i was once 2 in a situation like this, then i got pulled over in a celica w a permit and got 2 tickets, so i couldent drive for a little while longer ne ways.

you should express more willingness 2 fix your own short commings, insted on putting them on people you dont know, with expectations 2 get a car like an rx7 moving with a deadline close.
done ranting-

go down load the fsm, start with a basic matinetence procedure, then dig deeper if need be, take pictures when in doubt, post them, ask and you shall recieve.

and im willing 2 bet some one will help you in your area, theres hella fc's in cali.

cardnel rule with rx-7's

they take loot+time+paitents

and still sometimes this all in unison isnt enough

u gotta have love

 

Does the car not start? Or what is wrong with it?

 

yeah i know what you mean man... i did do some fixing in on the car... i change the altenator and the MAF ( i think thats what its called) BTW the car does run... it has a idling problem, like it revs up really high then it stalls. Second i believe the colant seal is broken cause it blows wihte smog out of the exhaust. third when i put the car on reverse it stalls right away.... these are the problems i notice soo far... and i wanted an expert to come over just to tell me what i need to fix not to fix it for me...

I like the hooker analogy...but on a similar note, if you can get some pretty ladies around your driveway, you'll get plenty of help I'm sure.

Anywho, I'd do a compression test first of all. If that's not too bad, put some oil in the chambers, and see how it goes. Search for more details.

As far as the engine starting up and stalling, yes, I would have checked the AFM (our cars have air flow meters, not mass airflow sensors), but since you replaced it (you could have gotten a bad one, btw), I'd check and adjust the throttle sensor and check for vacuum leaks (more likely).
