hi i have a few questions about my rx7 gxl first is that it takes about 6 to 8 seconds of cranking before the car starts. it has a new battery, is this normal? also the coolant light buzzes randomly but there is enough coolant and theres non leaking out the overflow. any help would be appreciated

-thanks

 

my coolant light is doing the same thing.. i hate it the most annoying thing in the world.. especially if u have someone in the car with u
i dont know what to do about it either

 

Could be air bubbles

 

ya thats what i was thinking and i let some out with the little valve on the right side of the rad but it was still beeping.. i guess ill try agian tomorrow

 

No overheating? Leaks? If not, its probably just a bad sensor, ....if the noise gets too unbearable(and i know it will) just disconnect the the coolant sensor on top of you radiator.....but make sure it IS just the sensor and not something more serious to avoid you engine overheating....

 

how many miles?

 

110k

 

**** if i wudda know thats the sensor i wud have done it a long time ago.. is bad that mine spins around alot and its not stuck in place? lol cuz i think thats what the problm is now

 

try getting a new thermo coolant sensor it could help the cold start issue.

 

do some more searching on hard starts. it should answer ur questions. 2 main reasons are low compression and flooding, but flooding is usually caused also by low compression worn out housings. probably a tired motor. t2? or n/a? i would not have bought that car if it takes 7 secs to start it regardless if you believed it to simply be a weak battery. whats the charge on ur alt? wheres the voltage reading at?
