Good Morning from Guam. I haven't posted in a while. I recently shipped my car from Japan to Guam. 1995 FD. It has been my daily for the last 3 years. I am having issues and need help. At first I noticed I was not getting full power when trying to push my car a little bit. It was bogging down and felt like i was not getting enough gas. I changed spark plugs, fluids, checked all grounds. It was running good for a couple of days but now when i was driving home yesterday, my car turned off completely. I was able to start it up right after and right before i pulled into my garage it shut off again. what could it be? I am not sure why i am losing power in the middle of driving. it is very unsafe and would like to remedy the situation before i take it out again. Car is mostly stock except exhaust and intake. 93,000 km. thanks in advance.

 

Not as an Rx-7 expert, but just curious since you feel like it's short on fuel, when's the last time you changed the fuel filter? Have you checked the fuel pressure?
Also, does this sound similar? Might be some more ideas.

Do a compression test before you go further to make sure the engine is good before troubleshooting things to death.

i am following that post as well. we are having similar issues but my car shuts off with no warning in the middle of driving, i think that is the only difference. but i did check pressure and changed filter. thank you for your input.

 

i was planning on doing that this weekend. thank you for your help.

 

I think the takeaway from the other thread right now should be to check your ECU for any error codes.

 

I am getting codes 44 and 14. looks like i need a new solenoid (turbo control). are there any other parts i might need to upgrade before i open her up?

 

Hey, check the ground to the ECU as well. I had corrosion on mine and noticed a difference after cleaning it up

cheers
