1991 took a dump this morning... how?

just got the 1991 N/A RX7 vert a months and a half ago, check engine light pops on and off... seller said it needed new injectors... i took it to three different mechanics and each of them said it just needed a tune up... 450 damn dollors

car would have a hard time starting i would have to pump the gas and after back firing once or twice it would kick over and turn on, and once i got it going it would sputter and choke if i get on the gas to much... but if i ease on the gas it would slowly speed up at higher rpm's, if im on the freeway in 5th it would have no out put it would just hold stedy the speed i was at in 4th and if i step on the gas to speed up it would jerk a little and give me a "clickady" sound...

i change the spark plugs and it started right up with no pumping of the gas and had no problem accelerating for the rest of the day... but the next morning, i hoped in it and the same old stuff started happening...

day before yesterday i tried changing the spark plug wires but the was no difference from the stock ones

today i hoped in it to go to work and fought with it like i do every morning but it just tunes over and back fires but wont start

sound like anything anyone has come across??? im trying not to write mazda's off as junk, its my first RX7 and im already wanting to get rid of it

Wrong forum, putting it in the second gen section will generate more responses.

Out of curiosity have you been noticing it loose coolant wet plug ect? How many miles are on it? Checked and set TPS? Pulled the codes to see what they are?

my bad wrong one,

it hasn't been lossing any coolant... but the "add coolant light has been coming on... but i went and bought a big ol thing of coolant and poped the cap to put some in and it was full... i even checked the reserve and it was full too.... 144,xxx, went to aamco to have the coades ran and the guys said the it wasn't put any out and i would have to take it to the dealership the figure it out... so yea thats all i have to work with
