Exclamation This is my last idea I have...

Ok, from those of you that have been helping me from the beginning of buying my car, you all know that my car hasn't been running very well. I have one last idea that what it might be. I think my leading ignition coil has gone bad, this would explain why it turns but doesn't start and why it drives like crap. That's my last idea of what the problem is, so I'm going to take it down to them and tell them to look and test that first if that's not it then I'll be done and leave it up to them to find the problem. I want to know what you guys think about my idea, do you think I could possibly be right? It's my best shot at what it could be. Input is greatly appreciated.

How can it turn, not start and drive like crap?

Clarify some terms please. If it doesn't start most people assume it just wouldn't drive. I assume it starts?

........well if you think about it dude, real hard you'll realize it's a stick and then say, "o....he has a 5-speed and he rolled it down a hill and "jump" started it by popping the clutch" hehe just kidding, yeah it's a 5-speed and that's what I did to get it to start. Read my other posts by searching for my name to get other info on what's been happening because I don't feel like explaining it all over again. The engine "turns and everything looks and sounds like it's going/trying to start, but it doesn't. There's your explanation.

HEY look, I didn't break the car! I bought it that way and have been trying to fix it back to running condition! I bought it as a project car, and it wasn't running at the time, so I have to say I'm doing FINE! Don't be an ******* to me......I've tried to be nice, I said j/k and was messin with him, damn calm the F*&^ down! I was just messin around and I'm gettin it fixed, I asked to see if u guys thought that was a good idea, not tell me to get a compression test. DAMN! I don't need a compression test! They are fixing for god's sake back off!

I agree with Snook.

If you don't feel like explaining it to one of the smartest guys on the forum (TurboJeff) then you don't deserve to own it! Talk about 'tude! What a punk. 18 years old, right?...

Next post will be " I wrecked my 7 last night".

Seems like a good idea to be nice to people who are trying to help you. They really don't have to help.

I wasn't gonna be a smart *** but since I tried to help and you give me a smart *** answer, I'll roast you back.

I DID read some of your old thread. Umm and your a f#%kin' DUMBASS. I figured since you were starting a new thread you might try to help yourself. Can't find the master cylinder, huh?

Punks like you are so stupid you can't even ask for help right. Then when someone asks a question to help your dumb *** out, for FREE, you come back with a smart *** answer.

"it runs like crap but won't start" "it doesn't run very well"

I think I've found your problem, pull your **** covered head out of your ***, IF you know where either one of those things are.

I think it is fairly safe to say that this guy (rx7spirit) is not worth anyone's time. I tried to help him before too and he did the same thing to me. What a dumbass.

I guess he keeps starting new threads about his problem so he can try to hide the bullshit he is saying to others that try to help. I am thinking it's about time for him to get a new screen name.

I've got an idea Einstein. Do the FD community a favor and throw your computer out the window. We will all be greatful.

Done.

hahahha I'm sure he's sorry now guys

spirit try to ask in a nicer fashion and respect your elders
nobody's really mad just be cool

btw your car sounds like it is really messed up but if I remember correct the motor is almost brand new just a few hundred miles? I agree with you that you should have it checked out by a pro since your examination of the patient may be causing more damage.
Sorry about your car and your first experiences with it.

Good Luck!

Bye SpiritR! ... Dood, take a chill pill...everyone here are always so helpful...I can understand that you are really frustrated with you car but it still doesn't warrant mouthing off with smart *** comments... Guess my theory of everyone on the forum being cool goes down the drain
