Did my clutch replacement and fixed a ton of other stuff while i was at it.

First off on the initial start up and warm-up the car was leaking a small amount of anti-freeze. I have yet to find the leak but i do know it is running down the firewall and then dripping from under the passenger floorboards. Any one have any suggestions?

Now i have developed a hesitation at around 4500rpms and i know it isnt the 3800rpm problem because i sanded and redid all the grounds before the clutch job. I have my suspicions that it is my plug wires but i am ordering them ASAP. Any other ideas?

BTW where are the plugs supposed to be as far as trailing and leading? Currently(ever since i bought it) the leading are on top and the trailing are on the bottom.

There are other minor problems buts im working on them as i go and sorting them out.

 

Well for starters, you have the plugs wrong. Trailing is on the top and Leading should go on the bottom.

Chances are that if you mixed these up, you might have mixed up your wires too causing the 4500rpm issue. Try switching the plugs and wires and see what happens.

 

ok but it ran fine when i bought it and i havent messed with them other than unplugging one of the wires to pull the plug then it was put back like it came off. But i will change them.

 

A way to remember:
Leading=Lower
Trailing =Top

How is the clutch working? I am currently replacing mine too. I am sealing up the oil leaks-engine rear main seal, oil pan reseal, both tranny seals.

 

just one other question what are advantages of platinum plugs? They cost like
$7 at the local parts place are they worth it? They are going to be put on with my mazdatrix wires

 

none for the rx7 you want to get ngk stock plugs far better than any platinum or iridim plug
napa carries them

 

i meant ngk platinum plugs

 

i did do all but the oil pan seal when i did my clutch Jackhild. Clutch is awesome too.

Still trying to get an answer on the advantages of the NGK platinum plugs.


Also on update i got Mazdatrix plug wires and they lessened the studdering. I also put the plugs back where they belong but it is still studdering pretty bad around 4500rpms and above. runs great up to 4500rpm. I also threw in some Heet and a thing of STP injector cleaner when i filled up last and i have used a quarter tank since.


BTW studder is only happens when driving not when sitting a revving
