I got a problem, plz help!

Ok, I have a 1988 RX7 that I bought about 2 weeks ago. In the beginning it was great but now I can't get the car to start at all. It is very unpredictable, and I am pretty much lost. I know one problem was in the spark plugs being old and worn down but I cleaned them off and I also took the starter out and cleaned it out. Everything was put back in just fine and it would fire up but it won't actually complete starting up. Now, it won't even do that, all i get is some click and a little buzzing sound. One friend told me to bypass the cylanoid heads but i don't know for sure how to do that anyway . But could any of you help me with this? Oh and by the way, the click sound i am hearing sounds like it is coming from the fuel injection area. What is happening? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

A common problem with an easy fix. There are many post on how to fix this. It always happens if you turn your car off immediatly after starting. try this http://www.rx-7.com/tech/unflood-fc.html .

Sounds like a dead battery? And you need new plugs, if I clean my plugs they dont ever run for very long until they foul out again.

as far as I know the clicking noise indicates a starter problem
