rx7 dies as soon as under load????

Ok so i just 3 inched my na 86 gxl... Everything was loud and awesome then there was a big fuel dump in the pipe under hard acceleration. And then it died... I bomb started and it ran fine again... Then died randomly under town speeds low rpm... Bomb started again...idles fine (for with a straight) now it itldes fine. And revs..but as soon as I go to drive it sputters and starts to die...... Any idea? I did put a splash of mixing oil in the tank maybe fouled plugs?

Bomb starting is when the veichle is rolling and the ignition is on.. Engage the clutch and put in gear then drop the clutch and it will start( my batery cables got munched by my altinator pulley haven't fixed yet so that's how I start the car(i live on a hill). Also yes I removed the cats

You need your battery cables regardless of whether you roll start the car or not.

Is that the issue? No plug issue from running some oil in gas?

Depends on how much you put in. If you placed in the correct amount per gallon of gas then you shouldn't have plug issues.

Your ECU and engine sensors and coils needs a certain level of voltage to run properly. W/o battery cables this voltage could easily be compromised. Why you wouldn't want to replace the cables is beyond me.
