no start..need help for DD rx7
 
my 90 gxl has ran great up to this point. just put a quart of oil and put some gas in it, and i tried to crank it and all i get is the starter relay clicking. i can hear it click and thats it. i need to get this car up and running again. could this be signs of carbon lock? i would redline it but its been hesitant to reach redline cuz i have a problem with it stopping at 6k. rx7 gurus really need ur help on this one guys. appreciate it.

Try turning the key only part way forward, and see if it turns over. My car occasionally doesn't want to start if the key is turned all the way forward, but I can get to crank if I just hold back a little. The issue, as far as I can tell, is corrosion in the ignition switch. Worth a try if you haven't already done it.
