Im Going Nuts Need Help!!!!!
ok heres the deal i was driving my 87 rx7 turbo II just fine then we stop and went inside a club 20 minutes later we went back to the car and it ownt start it would crank but it wouldnt start luckily i have a friend with me to push it then it started then we drove to another club at the stoplight the engine died and again it would crank but would not start so we had to push start it again then we went inside the club 2 hours we went back in the car same thing happens cranks but no start so push again
Next morning i went out and tried to start my car now its just wont start it cranks though
what i wanna know is it it possible that my compression is real low and i have to get rid of my beutifull car or its just the flooding thing or the fuel pump etc.. i need to know if this is minor or not i think push starting my car just works fine by the way my oil pressure is all the way to zero too it just happen when i recently change the oil so please i need help i love this car so much that i would hate to give it away thanks

Oil pessure... there's SEVERAL threads not more than two days old about this.. it's prolly the lil electrical connector on the sending unit
It's prolly flooded... Especially since push-starting got it going. These cars are rather prone to hot-start problems.. Leaky injectors, etc.. Install a fuel cut switch and use it when you turn your car off... should take care of the problem. Does it crank "faster" than it used to? Sound a little higher-pitched? Tell-tale signs of flooding
Of course, a compression test will tell you what's up..

well would the car run even if the compression is bad cause it runs ok when pushed started it its just when i kil the engine in wont start again even if i let it idle for minutes before turning the car off i already did the flloding trick doesnt seem to work very good i had a buddy of mine take the fuse out whilke starting and and put it again while starting kinda playing with the fuse while a crank it and it started but i had to give it a little gas to startr it so anyone let me know what u guys think im getting ready to do the ATF trick
