i have an '88 rx7 13b non-turbo convertable that needs some fixing! my car has almost 150k on her. she started flooding everytime i tried to crank her. so i put i fuel switch on to cut the pump on and off....i can now crank her with ease, but i want to get rid of the switch...i think its my fuel system. if i were to replace the fuel system how much am i looking at, and is there anywhere close to NC that would do a great job for a reasonable price? please email me and let me know or reply on here! thanks so much!

 

Your hard starting could be caused by a few things such as low compression, and/or leaking injectors. An option some people do is getting the injectors cleaned and flow tested by an injector shop. You find a local shop or send it through some online places like cruzinperformance.com. If the cuase of your hard starts is low compression, a rebuild would be needed.

Have your compression tested first then go from there. If it is good, have your injectors checked out.

 

what kind of place would do that? would a regular auto shop do something like that or am i looking for a specific type of shop?

 

For a compression check? a Mazda dealer could do it for you, or you could do it yourself with a store bought compression tester and following the procedures in the Haynes Manual for your RX7

 

Does it flood every time you get in your car? Like you went to mall come out and start it and its flooded. Then you drive it from mall to pet store come out and crank and its flooded? Or is it flooded only every morning?

 

sorry to say it has been it has been explained alot ..over and over again my friend..you'll find it in sec gen archives ..not tryin to be smart,but if you read a little..you'll see it..you'll save your typin fingers for real questions..if you can't pm me

 

And what might a real ? be?

 

sorry for the inconvience, but i have no idea how these forums work exactly...this is the first one i have really been one so im trying to figure out where i need to be and what i need to be asking, but seriously thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

 

now it started off just on mondays when i drove from high point to salisbury in the mornings...literally only on mondays, well then it went on further and finally went to everyday, evertime i tried to crank it... thats when i put the switch on, and now like i said with the switch she cranks right up.

i hope that answers your question....
thanks

 

I am going to go out on a limb that you are saying to floods evrytime you crank it in that case prolly low compression go have it checked.

 

my car used to flood , and then i ran some injector cleaner and it actually sopeed... i duno but i guess its worth a try if it worked for me. Just trying to save you some money

 

i've done that since day one...every other tank in the summer and twice a month in the winter! so i know that won't work, but thank you though!

 

how far away is salisbury from raleigh?

 

from what i understand about 2-4 hrs depending on circumstances.
