Rich (GoodfellaFD3S) is a great person and an expert-level FD mechanic who helped me tremendously. I went to start up my FD after it had been in hibernation over the winter months. I turned the key and no joy. I'm _not_ a mechanic, and only know how to do some basic preventative maintenance type of stuff, so I did not know what to do next to get it up and running.

I remembered years ago I had a couple of brief conversations via PM on RX7Club with a guy named Rich (GoodfellaFD3S). He seemed knowledgeable, and even better, he was (and still is) "local" (meaning within 30 miles of me). So, I reached out to Rich and asked for help.

Rich not only had a brief chat with me on in email and on the phone, but he made a house call (40-45 minutes each way from his house to mine). After a couple of troubleshooting sessions, not only did he get the car running, he also pointed out some other things that were also sure to give me problems. There was no pressure or scare tactics from him to convince to me to fix anything. Instead, he explained everything he was doing, what he was suggesting to address, and why he though I should fix those things. He fixed everything at a very reasonable price, and my RX was running great afterwards.

I would not hesitate to ask for his help again and would recommend him to anyone who might need his expertise!

 

What was the issue preventing the car from starting?
