Well, I drove the car yesterday to work, runs like a top, drove it home to feed the dog and then back up to work...Left the car at work for about 2 hours, Came back to pick it up and it just wont start. Ive tried about everything I could think of, Checked all fuses, checked for codes and none. Put in a new fuel pump and tested the previous one and it came out ok so put it back in...PFC commander says there is voltage to the fuel pump...I changed the fuel filter less than 1000miles ago.
It just seems to me like its not getting any gas, compression is perfect, I tried to flood just so I could see and it wont even flood, imagine that a rotary that refuses to flood itself... So Im convinced its fuel related, I know I need spark plugs but not that bad! The plugs in it only have about 1200miles on them...
Anybody got suggestions ? Its real hot out in the parking lot and Im totally stumped...
Thanks guys

Does it even turn over?? 2nd does it turn over but not start?

TwinTriangles

Yes. Its turns over, like I said Ive been trying to flood it to see if its getting any fuel at all because that way I know it can be unflooded but its just not firing...

Soon as I get this thing to start again Im selling it and buyin a Ducati...
Anybody lookin to buy a 93 with a list of mods ?

Try push starting it, and if it was flooded, that'd unflood it. If it doesn't start then, then you know you have another issue.

TwinTriangles

Dude Ive tried all of that, I know for sure im not getting any fuel, my fuel pump works and I am using a PowerFC so I dont see how it could be an issue with the injectors not opening to start the car.
Im starting to get really pissed...Haha I love rotary engines...

Have you even looked at your spark plugs? How do you know they're firing? How do you know you're not getting fuel?
You need to check and see if you have spark. If you have spark, then you can conclude it is a fuel problem.

One thing that comes to mind is a bad crank angle sensor. But I'm sure there are many other things that could cause your problem.

TwinTriangles

Spark is fine, I know because there is absolutely no fuel smell from the exhaust when pumping the gas pedal a million times trying to flood it. I did get it started about half way home while pulling it, It ran great, idle perfectly but when i shut it down and then tried to start it up again it wont start. So once it does get running it will run great but its not getting the fuel it needs to start...

TwinTriangles

Wow! Thanks for the help everyone...!

TwinTriangles

Okay, although Im a little disturbed by the fact that nobody really bothered to post a suggestion aside from one person which is a thank you to paw140, but I was able to diagnose and fix the problem with the help of my genius dad...If anyones even curious what it was...Im really, really disappointed in this forum right now...

im interested, PM me why?
PS: im trying to research and gain knowledge on the 3rd gen 7 as much as possible

So what was it?

And just FYI, pumping the gas pedal will not flood a fuel injected car. You're getting confused with carbureted cars. By pushing the gas pedal, all you are doing is actuating the butterfly valve on the throttle body, which essentially does nothing.

Ignition wires?

TwinTriangles

So your saying pump the gas while turning over the engine wont flood it ?! Try it on your car and see what happens...

paw140

Exactly, you will not flood the engine on a fuel injected car by pumping the gas. If this floods your car, something is wrong with it.

Joshbham

have you checked your voltage at the fuel pump?? Also check the voltage at the ignition switch. then let me know. I had a simular problem witch was not to had to fix it seemed to all be coming from the 120 amp maxy fuse that is located by the battery. (it bolts in with 2 10 mm bolts) hope you find out whats up, i know i hated it when mine woldnt go.

Could you post the fix. Maybe noone could help you out with the problem at this time but I am sure you would probably help someone else who maybe facing the same issue. Thats what the forum is about. I am sure you have found some answers before on this forum. I know I have.
