Is their any indications or warning that are giving to you if your rotatry engine is about to blow up or die on you? If so, what are they?

 

I heard they go from running just ok/poor to all of a sudden running really great for a little while then they blow... just a rumor though, never had one go out on me so I dunno.

the reason i ask is that myfc is doing some weired crap on me lately and well i was thinking the worst allready.

 

Sudden hard starting, smoke, lack of power, rough idle, flooding. You can always do a compression test to get a general idea about the condition of your engine, but it won't give you a real indication of when the engine will pop.

 

well see i'm not doing the smoking or anything like that, it's just that sometimes it will ride nice and smooth and somethimes it's like a strage drive it just doesn't feel right.

 

My car has started flooding easily, but i can unflood it just as easily. Need to buy that beater soon...

 

does any one have a problem with starting their 7? I mean when you try turnning it on do you have to try several times?

 

That'd be me, but only when it doesn't sit for awhile. Like say i stop somewhere (after a 20 minute drive) for gas or food or whatever (something less then a 30 minute stop) and try to start again, the car will be flooded and i'll have to crank to get it to start.

If it's sat for a few hours it starts right up no problems. Damn ist thing...

 

yup thats an rx7 allright

8 out of 10 X's they get low compression before they let go. this ofcourse doesn't count if you detonate the crap out of it, while making a 10 Sec pass.

 

Poor power, low compression, excessive oil/coolant consumption, poor economy, all kinds of things can lead you to believe the engine is about to go. Maybe you can go into a little more detail with what you feel she's doing oddly?

...If she starts rod-knocking, you're really skewered...

 

There's an easy way to tell. Walk to the back of your car, and look to the right and left of the third brake light. If it says "Mazda" on the right and "RX-7" on the left, it could go at any time.

 

Sounds like a lawn mower.

 

 

like on start up ....i need a new moter and im broke

 

aaroncake, your wheels are str8 ballin outta control

 

mine has just recently started flooding really badly. It never did it before and I'm not sure if i should be worried about the motor dying or if i can just attribute it to colder weather or something like that.
