ok so im driving home from my grandmas house in my 87 Rx-7, come to a stop, and my car cuts off. Not only did it do it once or twice but 5 freaking times!!!! wut in the hell is going on with my car????

 

check TPS ohm's and is this a NA or TII..

 

vaccum leak? will the engine stay on if you keep giving it gas?

 

oh yea DUH!! i didnt even think of a vacum leak.. yea check for VAC leaks..

 

has the fuel filter been replaced ever? did it stall or LOSE ALL POWER? make sure your TID or Intake tube are not loose or cracked/broken..........


details would be nice......only women are psychic.......i can't get in your head.....

 

if i keep it revved yeah the engine will stay on and i believe its a NA cuz i know it doesnt have a turbo.

 

well it just completely shut off. no power whatsoever and when i tried to start it back up it took like 5 minutes

 

wait.........so you lost the battery too?

 

what is a TID

 

Turbo Inlet Duct...it's in the FAQs.....you're NA so don't worry about it

 

yeah the battery lost power for a second then all the lights would turn on but no fire on da engine

 

check the battery terminals and cables for damage, then go over the grounds over the whole car......check to see for damage on the ECU wiring harness and wires........

what happened when you tried to turn the car on ( noise-wise)

 

where exactly is the ECU? im a noob on these cars. now put a chevy in front of me and im a ok

 

it gave on click for a second then when i tried startin it it juss kinda cranked without a fire

 

^^^ check all your connections. make sure there is no corrosion on the battery terminals and a good ground and have good contact.
ECU is under the carpet on the passenger side up against the lower part of the firewall

 

read this.......lemme think.

ok thanks man

 

looks like you might have several issues. go through all the suggestions given and see what happens. good luck

 

ok......

1. check batt. terminals and cables

2. Check wires/ harness to the ECU.....then look for any heat damage to the engine bay wiring.....( search for any exposed wires that may be grounding out)

3. go to a kragens( aka Checkers in some parts of the country) and have them do a recharging system check ( they'll tell you if the alternator is dead)........or do it yourself



post in here after you do that^^^^
