why does my rx7 keeps blowing starters?
My 88 rx7 GTU 5speed required 4 starter changes in last 7 month, 3 used ones and one rebuilt. One day, approximately 1-2 month after starter replacement it will just refuse to start, usualy after a day of start-ups (like when running many errands short distance away from each other).
I am looking for any possible culprits so I can check and rule them out. ANY SUGGESTIONS???
Thanks. Allen.

In most likely order:
Bad engine grounds.
Bad engine grounds.
Bad engine grounds.
Bad battery grounds.
Bad ignition switch.
Loose starter kill relay or jumper (depending on if you have the factory alarm or not)
Bad or mis-adjusted clutch position switch.
Flywheel missing teeth
Your driving skills (Are you holding the starter too long... Not slaming your driving skills, but you did ask for everything...)
