My buddy just bought an 88 rx7 turbo II for $500, the car drove home, very rough i might add.. It takes the car way to long to even rev to 4k. the previous owner cut the exauhst pipe just before the cat. We messed with the timing no better, checked for spark, changed plugs and wires... Also car idles at about 2000 - 1500.. It just feels like the timing is retard about 20 degrees... please help im going crazy...

 

maby vac lines, and howes it run as far as power?

 

power? what power... none. just enought to get the car down the block.. can make it to 3rd gear inabout 30sec... i thought vacume lines too but i have no idea where to look.. rotary's are so new to me... I would have no idea were to start. I used to do vacume checks on my old 71 bug. suck on the line and listen for the clicking.. same thing?

 

more like pour soapy water over the vacc lines to find a leak. and my signature should give some insite to the rotary.

 

and if ya need any help or just wana talk rotary my email is ikoor@aol.com ive already helped like 10 people with major problems.

 

Possible your cat is clogged also... Whats the boost like? Any boost at all?

 

exhaust was cut just before the cat... im assuming the previous owner tried the same thing... does this sound at all like losing one of the rotary's?
