I was doing something stupid and I crossed some wires and a spark occured. My dash lights would not come on and my car would not start. It will try to turn but thats it. My main 120 fuse was blown (the yellow one) will that keep it from starting?

where can I get one?

thank you!

brads

yes, just by a new fuse.

hmmmm, must have crossed some main primary wire/s to ground. be sure to fix the problem first(the reason for the arc), then look everything over and make sure things are cool, and replace the known blown fuse.

To make a long story short on fridayI started smelling coolant. then suddently the "Replace Engine" light came on. So I checked the coolant and it was low. So I filled it. my tuner was able to look at it quickly and tell me what hose needed fixed. I could not get a ride on saturday to drop my car off so I tried to fix it myself. The manifold thing was a mess, I could not get the thing off and then I my rachet hit the alternator and the battery and then darkness, lol.

So thismorning I got a fuse and I was able to start the car but nothing but black smoke came out of the exhaust with a rough idle. So I took the car to Ricks Rotary performance and he was going to replace the water hose behind the manifold, but found the rats nest was a mess. He found vacuum tubing that was hard as a rock, seloides that were broken AND vaccume tubes that were glued together previously. Oh and the tube that goes into the boost control valve was fixed with a nipple that looked like the tip from a glue bottle, lol.

Anyway all of that is fixed, It seems I have some boost issues taken care of now too.

Thanks!

My advice is to ditch that rx-7 as soon as possibe and buy a 5.0 mustang. Throw some money into some mods like heads, intake, cam, and get some real N/A POWER that will last.

Matt, why would I do that? N/A power? You ran a 15.1, lol.

My problem was my radiator hose behind my manifold not my engine. I don't take advice from kids that talk **** and cant back it up. And BTW...You told all the guys in the chat room that you beat me in the 1/8, did you look at the time slip?

You still want to bet me 2500 bucks you can beat me in the 1/8? You know I set a new personal 1/4 mile record the other day, right?

fordmuscle86

Davey, Davey, Davey, ....c'mon man we all know here that I have a stock motor (havent invested in heads, intake or cam yet). Old chap, I never said I beat you in the 1/8, but its pretty sad dont you think that a stock stang spanked you so bad off the line, isn't it??

ZeroBanger

you did a 2.20 60' with drag radials. I had one of my worst launches ever and did like a 2.38 on regular tires.

I run 2.22's consistently. Give me some drag radials

yodaddy

wow i wish i had a replace engine light that might be pretty helpful! sorry i couldn't resist.

duchi

uh, why are we talking about "slo-point-oh's"?? i think you definitely got the wrong forum fordmuscle86. the info in this forum is rx7 and rotary engine related.

duchi

that's great david. glad to hear that it wasn't a more serious electrical problem. i guess it mighta been a blessing in disguise since other problems were taken care of due to the first problem. now go beat up on some fords!!

I talked to fordmuscle86 today. After he wrote that he test drove a 94 RX7 and now wants one.

Its funny how driving an RX7 makes a believer!
