hi everybody i was wondering if anybody would have any ideas on what is wrong with my rx7? well what happens is after i start it after like 20 seconds of running the car would shut off and the add coolant light comes on and also when i start it and give a little gas the car dies. if anyone has any ideas it would be great to hear your ideas.



thanks

Is this the same problem from 2 years ago?

Mine did this, found out that it was low on petrol, even though the gauge wasn't empty, because it was on a hill it kept dying on me. I put me some petrol in just incase and everything was good. Don't really know why it did it because there was just under quarter of a tank left... still don't know if thats anything like yours?

im missing the pcv valve would that be the problem?

so the car runs when i turn the ac on but after i give it a little gas it backfires then dies.
