1989 rx-7 running issues????help
Hi
I got an 89' rx-7 non turbo 5 spd
major problem is that after a good rev through first the motor goes into a limp mode and any more than a 1/20 throttle "in gear" will make the car stumble badly. I have replaced most sensor maf.mop etc could it be the metering oil pump still is a problem there $1300 new so I dont want to get a new one if thats not the problem. all schematics have been gone through and everyone is stumped. Been about a year with this problem. Also a little bit of the cat back is kind of missing (mufflers) When first started i have never heard a better, smoother revvy motor in my life, but once you get on it's busted when the ses light comes on
Any comments or suggestions would be great I would love to have it moving for my christmas present
Thanks
Brian

the oil pump is the only thing that will put it into limp mode.
