but I dunno, the shop said that the problem was some transmission valve and all.
Let me just second the statement that nothing in the the transmission will keep the car from starting.
Or did he say the clutch switch? The one that allows you to start the car only with the clutch in?

Hey, I recognize that car, I work up at Sweeney in Mazda service. You should have seen the smoke your car shot out when we finally got it started. All he did was pour in some ATF and poof, it was alive.

There you go... It was flooded.

Before you pay to have a tow truck and dealer diagnose your car, consult the list!!! THE RX7CLUB WILL SAVE YOU MONEY! Money that you can use for mods...

Pshh. When I first got my Rex running, I took my dad for a ride. It had been sitting for a while, so I wasn't pushing it (TOO hard...it's so hard to drive that car sanely ) He wasn't happy with my driving, so he told me to give him a shot. Dumped the clutch at like 3500, smoked first, barked second, chirped third. Fastest that car has accelerated before or since, and no matter how often I drive it, I can't shift as well as he did the first time driving it. Damn it!

Hehee, I take after your dad, except in this case, I'm the mom! :-) I let both sons drive my 7 on the night I bought it, and that's the last time they've driven it
