its the oil metering pump connecting rod, it should be attached to the OMP at the bottom, the omp is the thing with the four bolts and hoses running to it. The rod often is connected but still feels loose, get a flash light and look good.

It needs to be connected, very important indeed.

not to diverge from the original topic, but Did you try to fix the stock grounds w/ new wire before adding all of the extra wires or did you just do it all at once??

I wondering, is that a GXL?

That rod enable oil to be delivered to your motor, very important to make it's connected and that the oil injector lines are in good shape...

you could always remove the washer and pin from the throttle end and just try to lightly pull up on it, if it comes out of the engine bay then it wasn't attached.

Your RX7 is using motor oil to lubricate and cool parts exposed to the combustion of the fuel-air mixture, so I wouldn't go driving around if it's disconnected unless your premixing your gas with 2 stroke oil...

Odd as in you would seem to loose compression?

That would be the omp not working.

And as for the premix, that info is all around this forum.

With the OMP not be attached, I think something bad would happen to your motor within a week. Have you worked on the car recently?
