I've searched these forums and I can't find exatally what Im looking for.

Daily Driver, just went over 50k MODS: PFC/MP/DP/Intake Tune= a tiny bit rich 12 PSI

Everything worked perfectly, I went on vacation. Car locked in garage. 3 weeks later the car cranks but wont start/ Tried to jump battery(just in case) same result.

I've tried
* Crank engine without touching the gas
* Crank engine with foot holding the gas pedal to the floor,
* pulled egi fuse - Crank engine, with foot holding the gas pedal to the floor
* put egi fuse back
* Crank engine, with foot holding the gas pedal to the floor
* Crank engine without touching the gas

I'm doing the plug troubleshooting tomorrow but I want to ask is there any random other things I should look for? I'm guessing that the plugs are jacked... any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!

search noob. your engine is blown. hate to give you bad news but mine had the same problem and it turned out to be a blown engine.

edit- before someone post something stupid, its a joke. I will be going to FIX his car today as I have been fixing it since he bought it. boy, what I will do for a rockstar and a chance to tinker on someone elses rotary amazes me.

Let us know what you find out. I'm starting to build a database of all the bizarre quirks this car has and how to fix them. The workshop manual is great, but it can't beat real world advice I find here.

By the way, I've started with idle issues and small loss of vacuum issues. You wounldn't believe the list of stuff I've compiled by going back and searching through pasts threads. "No start, oh my, my engine is blown, (but not really)" would be a prime candidate for the third topic for my research.

tried to start it and it sounded like it had no compression. replaced the plugs and still no start. put some ATF in there, spun it over without fuel, cleaned the plugs and it fired right up like new. let it smoke itself out and, presto, another rotary saved by the magical wonders of ATF.

moral: dont let your RX7 sit for 3 weeks.

Is it turning over but not fireing or are you getting a fire just not full ignition?

In just one trip around the block and it stopped smoking.


Its good to have a personal rotary mechanic
