2Problems: Clutch and IONO WTH!
Car: 1993 rx7-fd3s
Mods: HKS Ti catback, Dual turbo intake, Hks downpipe, AST thingy, new Vacume hoses, Koyo radiator, 20w50 motor oil.
everything else is stock.
Miles: engine 120k. Not rebuilt
Situation#1 When driving with the lights on my car boggs.. it feels like its stalling. the stalling feel gradually gets violent untill i let off the gas or keep gasing it till about 4k rpm. This also happens in idle (with lights on), the car will stall imediatly if i dont apply gas.. oh but warm up is fine... because it naturally revs up to 3.5k rpm.. then about 30scec. later it'll start stalling. this is even when the clutch is down, on any gear including neutral. This Does not happen when my lights are off.
I hope i wrote enough info for you guys to give me a Diagnostics on what is really wrong with my car so i can fix it.
But what i think is wrong is... it's either the spark plugs, alternator, or injectors. but i don't want to blow money on all three and find out it was something totaly diferent.
Situation#2 When I push on the clutch all the way down the clutch would grind. I'm thinking the clutch is grinding because i can feel the rough vibration and hear it also. crrrrrrrunkk! so then what was my solution? shorten the throw of the clutch.. After i did that, the clutch throw was fine, running with no grinding for the day. Then the next morning it would come back.. so i shortend the clutch throw again... and again.. and again.. till today where its sooo short that it barely disengages, now getting into gears is a bitch. I know its not my master clutch cyl. or clutch line because i just bought and replaced my old ones with brand new parts last week. And my clutch resivore is full..no leeks at all. pleeease someone help me, i dont want to kill my clutch kit that i just bought 4 months ago. oh oh and let me remind u that my clutch grabs perfectly fine at low rpms n crap. i can still churp up to 3 gear. it grabs like it an 8 puck.

couple of things off the Top of my head..check the Altenator belt.Have the alternator Checked.Load test the battery,chcek connections,and Particularly grounds,also with the headlights..Secondly,you said you Replaced the Clutch Hydraulics.Try to Bleed the system,to see whether you may have missed some air.That could cause you to have erratic Clutch pedal.(worst case scenario..Syncros in trans are starting to go)
