Hard to start after long distance drive.
 
When driving long distances and i stop for gas my rx7 has a hard time starting. it takes about five tries for it to start. Why is this happening?

I'd guess leaky injectors or a bad evap solenoid. Will need more info. Is the car stock? Have the injectors ever been serviced? Does it do this any other time?

...and do a compression test

Probably low compression. Had the same symptoms. Needed a rebuild.

Guys correct me if aim wrong. Wouldn't a heat soaked engine have a hard start?

You're right. I've had the same issue in the past. I just let it cool down for a few minutes, and it fired right up.

Look up hot start issues... It's usually indicative of an engine that's getting weakened compression.
