ok heres the deal i bought a turbo II a couple of weeks ago and it wouldnt run. so im gonna tell u whats goin on with it to see if anyone has any ideas. ok when i turn the car over it will start but it will rev up very slowly to around 300 and then die,if i start the car with the gas all the way open it will do the same thing but it will go up to 1000 then die. it sounds like its starvin for fuel but after a while of crankin and startin it will flood. if anyone knows what is wrong please tell me i have searchin these forums for two weeks and i havent found a solution yet.

 

here are a few suggestions

replaced the spark plugs

compression check

check TPS

find vaccum leaks with carb cleaner

check leading and trailing coils to make sure they are functioning

replace the fuel filter

check voltage on fuel pump


it sounds like you arent getting enough spark or dont have very good compression

 

how long has it been sitting? if more than a year, the gas tank probably needs drained, fuel pump replaced if it isnt corroded too bad

 

AFM disconnected will let the car start then die, no?

 

That is correct.

 

if it revs up really slow, that sounds like running on one rotor. also check that ur PD isnt bad. and check the AFM connection

 

congrats on the purchase, these guys have posted some good advice, take it and good luck!!

let us know what you find!!!

btw welcome to the club!

 

ok i was reading my haynes manuel to see how to check my tps. it says to unplug the connector and read the resistance at closed throttle and wide open throttle but when i did that i got no readings at all does this mean my tps is gone and could this cause my car to do what it is doing

 

Compression test it FIRST. DO IT!

 

i did compression test it and it was good i did everything that rx7 fc tII said to do.

 

ok i pushed my afm in almost all the way and it idled for about a min then it died again does that mean anything
