Exclamation my 3rd gen rx7 has a problem can any one help?

k my rx7 has a problem i have an air fuel ratoi on the thing, and it says it goes lean when i floor the pedal. no when i do that it bogs out and back fires and i cant floor it all the way. i can slowly puch down the pedal and rev it up but i cant push it down hard. and it has a check engine light but i dont know the codes for the light as well and i barely have any moeny to fix it.

Your post is hard to read (which is why no one responds), but I'll give it a shot.

First off, don't drive it like that, you could damage your motor.

Could be the 02 sensor, but hard to tell.

Search this site for the codes and what number they are. This will tell you why the Check Engine Light is on.

After that get rid of the Auto Meter Air/Fuel Ratio meter, it is crap and should not be used for tuning. Buy a Wide Band 02 sensor.

Also do you have any friends with rx's that may be able to help in your area?

take your car to a shop that will pull the code for you and then post it here. Even if they dont do it free it shouldnt cost much just to get the code.

youll probably answer your own question when you get the code unless its two seperate problems.

i find it a bit troubling that not only are you willing to drive around with the CEL on but youre sitting there trying to floor it.

posted this in your other thread too. the map sensor hose is a good suggestion. it's near the firewall on the driver's side.

that's a 13 code which is the manifold pressure sensor. i'll let those with more experience expound on what the problem could be. here's the link to the cel codes. that home page is also a good reference for most problems/mods/upgrades/how-to's.
