Good Evening yal, I got my first RX7 1989 Fc and I’m psyched, but Today after driving it to work it wouldn’t start back up, the battery was dead so I jumped it and it turned on but after I turned it off again I got 0 power to the ignition however accessories and everything still works just fine, I’m not sure what to do and I need to get my car home (OMP has failed and stored a limp mode in the Ecu so does go into limp mode almost immediately when I begin driving, still searching for a fix for this)
Congratulations on your first rx7!
I daily drove my current fc and had a very similar issue. Mine end up being a poorly tightened starter ground. It caused similar issues and others too.
I would start with a battery test and an alternator load test, followed by work on your grounds.
A parasitic drain test might be in order as well.
As far as the OMP goes. This is posted here a lot. Do a search and you will probably find a path forward. I would park the car until the OMP situation is sorted. If you are forced to drive the car, use some premix just in case.
Then again, I am just some dude on the Internet. Feel free to ignore my advice.
Im not sure if this is how I reply but I greatly appreciate the help brother!!

I’m not sure if this is the correct way to respond as I’m new to the site but thank you brother!!
