Long story short, I pulled the EGI fuse because I was flooded, I then wanted to check and see if I was getting a spark. I was not able to get a spark. Is this because I pulled the EGI fuse????
Boy that will **** me off I pulled the upper intake manifold so that I could check the coils.
Please anyone with experience here, I am desperate... I want to drive my car for the first time!

 

You should get a spark. What you did was the proper method for starting a flooded car.

 

EGI should only stop the fuel pump from pumping so yes you should get a spark.

PM me if you need to know the instructions on starting a flooded engine...it's kinda long and I don't want to post it if you don't need it.

 

Put this in the Archive you DO need to have the EGI fuse in place to get a spark. I verified this yesterday myself.

 

hmm...interesting...thanks and sorry for the misinformation.

Do you ever check out the SE section of the forum? We have GA meets on Thursday nights at Syms. If you want to go sometime you are more than welcome and if you can bring anyone else then the more the marrier.

 

I've been to a couple of those meetings, It's not much fun when you don't have your RX-7. Anyway I got everything running in the car then found a gas leak under the plenum... So this weekend I'm going to take that apart and find the leak and order some parts.... ALMOST THERE. Anyway I hope to have the car 100% running when you guys go to the dyno day. I will not dyno the car (I have to break the engine in). But I'll come around and show off

 

Sweet!!! I'll be dynoing...hoping for 300 rwhp *crosses fingers*

 

I could have sworn I pulled that fuse to start my car when I flooded it once ... back to the manual ....
