My turbos arent working and I am getting oil back through my air intake, and so I have been keeping an eye on my oil and today I noticed that there was more oil than the other day and we all know it aint making oil and so I checked it and there is gas in my oil, How could this happen andf what do you think id the problem. Thanks Tim I only have 50k on the car I got it with 38k It has been one headache after another...and I know the *** I bought it from knew it had all these problems..guess I learned not to buy a car over the net.

 

What are your current mods?

How much did you pay for it?

What kind of work has been done to the car since you received it?

 

Gas in the oil isn't a "problem" with your car, it is a problem with all turbo'd rotaries.

I've posted on this several times, I've owned 12 93-94 RX-7s. It is normal to have oil in the intake to some degree and it is normal to get gas in the oil.

The "***" is you. Do a search before claiming you got ripped off. Turbos not working is a control issue, not a bad turbo issue. Again do a search.

No Jeff the *** is you, From the first day I recieved the car the check engine light was on. He said it was mint, nothing wrong with the car at all...where do you want me to start. The door handle was broke, the center console was broke, the bose system did not work, the turbos did not work and still dont. And Im not talking abpout a little oil in the intake but alot of oil. My oil presssure gauge goes from about 10psi to 0. I have spent already over 3k on repairs in the month I have had the car. I took the car to a rotary specialist and they said the guy unloaded this on me and it was shot. So the *** is you, next time find out the details before you pop off at the lip about what you dont know.

 

NO toxicshock1134 the *** here is still you for not looking the car over before you bought it. Your turbo problem could be as simple as a vacum lines but if there is a alot of oil in the boost tubes then it might be time for a new set. Have you tried to pull any error codes to see why the check engine light is on? Believe there is a write up on Rob R's site don't have the address so you'll have to do a search.

 

Your story seems confusing...

You've spent $3K on repairs in 1 month that you've had the car?

You bought it with 38K miles and it now has 50K miles? In a month? This is the same month when you had it being repaired, $3K worth?

I shouldn't have called you an ***, that was not constructive.

Do a search for your problems, they seem typical.

Oil pressure guage not working, another typical problem.

What is "a lot" of oil in the intake system? Take a pic and show us.

As far as rotary specialty shops, many claim to be, some are and some aren't. Which shop did you take it to?

Congrats for averaging almost 400 miles a DAY!

toxicshock1134, turbojeff is well respected in the 3rd gen forum. He can offer you some good advice, but you have to play nice. It's apparent to us that you aren't very familiar with the 3rd gen RX-7, so my advice for you is to start reading the 3rd gen forum every day and if you have any specific questions, use the search feature. If you can't find what you are looking for by searching, then go ahead and start a new thread with your question(s).

Although gas in the oil is a common problem, having your oil level go up in one day isn't normal. Maybe you injectors are leaking. Or you're having some serious blow-by. I had some bad gas dilution in my oil before my engine died. Sorry about the bad luck with the car.
