everytime i try to start my 1990 rx7 vert it turns over a few time but wont always start. ive been told its either the starter or possibly the fuel pump. any ideas will be helpfull.

 

sounds like it could be flooded. does it always happen? what about when the engine is hot/cold?

 

do you hear any weird sounds?

 

it will turn over all day, and sometimes i have to pump the gas peddle and/or take the key out and try again. i dunno if it would be a starter or the fuel pump. and no i dont hear any weird sounds.

 

yea mine does that too. i replaced my starter and it still did it. it got a little better, but not that much. this guy that i talked to about it, said he did something with the fuel lines or fuel pump. and it starts right up every time.

 

the main cause of this issue could only be something like

Changing the spark plugs!!!! haha yes it is simple just like that.

also here is a few other things to check out.

Fuel filter
AFM Plunger
TPS all out of wack and needs adjustment.


Note: for flooding rx-7
that if your car is flooding take out the EGI Pump" or "EGI Inj" Fuse (which is in the engine bay right hand side of the block.)
hop in the car and crank the engine for a good 10 seconds (it will smell like gas for a bit but it will burn all the flooded gas in the engine.)
Put the fuse back in and try to turn on the car once again by giving the car some gas while it cranks.

 

the spark plugs are spanking new, but a few friends of mine said the fuel pump and filter could be what it is...so yea i have a feeling thats gonna be my next paycheck... how much should i pay for a good pump/ filter?
