Bang!
Hi,
PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY
My 3rd Gen RX7 went bang the other day (literally). it managed to get me home (5mins away) but was missing very badly. I live in the channel islands and there are no rotary specialists over here! d'oh.
Im basically after any information as to what this could be. does it sound like a rebuild job or possibly turbo? any tests i could run to check?
any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!!

I'd do my best to help if maybe I read a symptom... "engine goes bang, whats wrong?" isn't a very good way to describe a problem.
btw I love your avatars, different every week I see you lol

Open the hood of your car. The firewall is the far wall of the engine bay, closest to the interior of the car. Look just beyond the intake elbow that connects to the upper intake manifold. Just to the right of the elbow, attached to the firewall will be a small black box that's supposed to have a vac line running to the bottom of it.
