one rotor 7

really down on power, bad idle too.

checked all the hoses.. everything is fine

car seems to be running on the first rotor. wouldn't start if i removed the plugs on the first rotor. No change when i removed the plugs on the second rotor(idles real bad and low on power)



something seriously wrong with the second rotor !!! Is there anything else that could be wrong or is it time for a new motor.

My car was running on one rotor about a week ago. I had flooded my car really badly and the plugs got wet. I let the car sit for 3 days and it fixed itself. I was about to change the plugs when it decided to work again. I'd highly advise changing your plugs. Does your car feel like it is about to stall if you don't step on the gas a little? idles really low? right...check those plugs and wires. also make sure your map sensor hose is on, that is what caused my car to flood in the first place.

Thanks Widebody,
Did change the plugs yesterday, but no difference. A local rx7 expert looked at it and thinks i need a new motor. There is severe imbalance / lots of vibration. Planing to do a compression check this weekend and then go for the motor change
