hey, i just bought my RX7 not to long ago. its a 87 turbo 2, now it started the first night i had it here at home, so the next day i did an oil change. then right after it doesnt want to start. I have tried everything. I just dont know what to do anymore.. some please help!!!

 

If the starter turns the engine over but it will not run then its got to be something stupid. (I don`t mean you are stupid) Keep looking under the hood around anything you touched.

 

the engine might be flooded. it's a commen problem. try to unplug the fuel pump relay. its attached to the steering column, facing down. i believe there are 5 wires coming from it. un hook it and turn the engine over for about 5 seconds. do that twice but dont hold it cause you can burn up the starter. then hook up the relay and turn it over again. but dont give it gas to start your engine. if the tachometer is jumping while ts turning over then its something like a vacuum leak or gas. if it doesnt jump then its electrical

 

Thanks, i just tried that and the tachometer is jumping so i guess its a fuel or vacuum leak some were, now how do i know were to find this vacum leak or how do i check for that?

 

No. It's probably flooded. Try making a fuel cut switch and see it starts then. Or remove the fuel pump plug and then start the car. Once it starts for a moment and dies, then reconnect the fuel pump plug.

The NORMAL remedy for a flooded RX, is to go to the engine bay fuse box. Remove the EGI fuses. The two inboard ones. Then spin the engine over for say fifteen seconds or so. Then reinstall the two fuses and go start the engiine. It should start IF it was flooded.

 

I have a 91 fc gxl it starts but trie to give it gas it dies can anyone help me. thx

 

First you shouldn't threadjack. Secondly, I'm gonna save you some flames; did you read the FAQ for the 2nd gen RX-7?

 

I do this on a normal basis, but I've never removed TWO EGI fuses, only one. Maybe I should check the fuse box cover.

 

no

 

whats threadjack sorry im a nub
