Unhappy Hard to start after engine warms up...please help!

I am having some problems lately with my rx-7.
It runs fine and everything but each time it becomes more difficult to start after the engine is already warm up.

I have changed the spark plugs and it stays the same.

I have changed the 0xigen Sensor and it stays the same

I have changed the water temp sensor and it stays the same

the injectors were cleaned and still hard to start after warm up ..

It 's like something is telling the ecu that the engine is still cold when it is actualy warm.

Any help/info would be appreciated thanks in advance

check your compression. It's probably low meaning your engine is going to need a rebuild.

Hey Amel thanks for your reply

What if the compression is good?

damn dude. LoL 9 replies just for me I don't think your compression is good, that's the whole point. I had 2 engines do that to me. I thought it was injectors or something was flooding the car.

I checked the compression and it was low on the rear rotor.

How many miles on the engine?

I dont mean to hijack this thread, but I have a similar problem and decided against posting a new thread.

Mine starts right up in hot weather, right on the first crank. But today it was in the 80's and INCREDIBLY humid, and my car will run a little bit rough right when it first starts up. Again it has no problems at all starting up, but it will run a little bit rough untill I Rev it once or twice. Not even a high rev, just up to like 2 grand. IT kindof smells like fuel too, is it possible my FPD or FPR solenoid is going?

Sorry to hijack
