N/A Rx7 FC won't start.
 
Hi Guys.
I'm from the UK, i've done a quick search but can't find a definite answer to my problem.
Over the time i've had the car there's never been an issue with the car starting until a couple of weeks ago when it started taking a little longer to get started from cold.
It also started to feel a little down on power at low revs then when i came to start the car when it was warm maybe a week after the cold start problem had started and it took about 5 minutes of cranking before it actually fired.
Once it's running it stays running and feels smooth but still feels down on power a little at low revs.
Now every time i start it, it always takes a long time. It always fires eventually but can take a couple of minutes sometimes.
Is there anything it can be other than rotor seals?

done a tune up lately? check the thermo switch on the back of the waterpump housing, make sure its working. when the car is idling and warm adjust the throttle position sensor. you can try the water treatment. ive used it but ive heard horror stories about carbon chunks damaging as they were steamed off the rotors. could just be a worn out motor with low compression. have you done a comp test yet?

I adjusted the throttle position sensor about 2 months ago and it's been running perfect ever since then but i'll check the thermo
