my 1988 rx7 n/a will only hit 4000 rpms and it smells like gas outside the car ive tried every thing i dont know what to do no one near me will work on a rotary and if i can figure out whats wrong with it i can do it myself

 

Does it rev up to 4K and then seemingly hit a brick wall? My car did that because the catalytic converters were clogged up. I replaced them and it went away.

Also, it might be the 3,800 rpm hesitation. You can do a search for "3,800 rpm hesitation" and get a lot of results.

Best of luck.

 

If it is the RPM hesitation, it's an easy enough fix. Usually the grounds need to be cleaned. Check the 2nd gen FAQ and do a CTRL-F for "hesitation".

It has useful links.

 

I too had the catalytic converters clog up and cause my car to not rev above 4,000. I used it as an opportunity to buy a Racing Beat downpipe and pre-silencer. Mine did not smell like gas though outside the car.

Hope you figure out the problem.

 

i have new 2.75 exhaust all the way down and no cat i just have a glass pack and pace setter headers

 

check your secondary injectors and injector clips.
