So I had just finished installing a spec stage one clutch and a fidanza flywheel onto my rx7 and while i was at it i installed a new starter because while i had it off i had it check and it was bad... So everything is installed and ive tried turning the crank with a ratchet and it will turn and also if i put the car in gear the rear wheels will turn when i turn the crank with a ratchet so i believe the clutch and flywheel were installed correctly so my question is what would of caused my car to not start?

 

bump.... come on guys, shoot some ideas at me, sure be better than anything i can think of

 

It can't start <----Expand on that... What do you hear? Does it crank but doesn't turn over? Clicks? Dead silence etc... Be more specific on what is going on exactly when you're trying to turn it on...

 

Did you connect the power cable and small cable to the starter? If you are missing those two things = no start.

Do you have the battery connected?

Did you remember to connect the starter ground connector to one of the transmission bolts on the drivers side? Its easy to miss.

If all these are good, bad starter.

 

Be
Moar
Specific.

 

Hah, I read that as "Be Mopar Specific" and thought to myself "what does Mopar have to do with an RX7".

Then I read it again.

 

HA!

"My car won't start, so what do you think is wrong."...........??

 

I don't know really.

Possible flux capacitor failure or possibly low compression.

 

thanks for all the help guys, dont know what it was but i removed it and reinstalled and now it works.... weird but at least it works now...

 

Maybe you forgot the ground, wire and did all that work for no reason. lol.

 

probably just some simple mistake. Next time you make a thread, you need to be very specific about what the car is doing (or not doing).
