wat



















If the engines locked just put another used engine in. Or buy a 6 port for next to nothing (-300), rebuild it and boost it.

Are you sure its the engine and not just the starter?

lol, Get a socket and put it on the crank pulley. Spin the motor by hand, does it spin?

You have to be more specific about what you mean by 'dnt do n e thing'. Does nothing at all happen in the car, like no lights on the dash or anything? Does it just not crank, but other stuff inside the car works? Does it crank and not start? Or did you verify that the engine actually is locked by putting a ratchet on it?

welcome to my world hahahaha, at autozone we get questions like this all the time.

Just because it doesnt turn over dont mean its frozen.

i'd suggest using a ohm meter and testing all your connections, ground, and idk if the 7 has a starter relay (ive not crossed that bridge myself yet) but make sure it clicks.

yea that original post was a little vague. You probably have no voltage, bad circuit, bad starter, hell maybe even bad battery

Maybe we would know more about your problem if you would type using real English words instead of what ever you call that. I really doubt you could "pull it and build it" if you don't know anything more than the engine won't turn when you turn the key. You might want to go trade the RX in on a Honda.

Remove fast and furious dvd. Sell car.



Ok so maybe I am being an ******* and this is why this forum has such a bed reputation but what you posted makes no sense. You have an 88 fc and minimal mechanical knowledge as to think that your car not turning over or doin n e ting and saying it might have to do with the battery and you want to talk about doing an ls6 swap. Dude please.

For all we know you could be trying to start a completely different car.

haah ok fellas my bad on posting in text talk. and i do know how to work on cars and lots of things. i was just simply posting that it didn't start and i was gona try and figure out what the problem was. the car is not at my house so i can' t look or work on it very often. and thank you for the suggestions such as the starter and whatnot. i will look into that asap. and as far as the trading in the rx7 for a honda..... please i have 2 supras' and an x runner, so i was just throwing that out there. but i was simply going to ask what is the main or most common problems with the rx7's... but all in good fun i know it was a bad post after the fact lol

turn on the headlights, have someone stand infront of the vehicle, try to start car, if headlights dim its battery. If they are bright you may have a bad ignition switch, starter, starter ground/pos connection, bad cable to the starter...

Saying something like this is like calling a doctor over the phone and asking him how to do open heart surgery... like i tell my customers, if YOU cant figure it out, take it to a MECHANIC...
