What's up everyone, name is Bert, I live in the North Shore area of Boston and I'm a really happy guy, especially now that I've acquired my long sought dream of owning a '93 Mazda RX-7 R1 edition.
I purchased it from Oklahoma in meticulous condition and it almost saddens me to bring it to new England, a salty place that turns car into rust boxes, but I will do my best to keep this baby stored indoors and well taken care of.

anyway. it has a common problem I guess, hot start-up issues, or lack thereof
when I bought it I changed the fuel pump on it, it ran well for 2 days, then I coasted it in the driveway and it hasn't started back up since, I don't hear the fuel pump priming but when I took the plug out I smelled some fuel in them....

I wish I could just upload a picture the basic way... im rusty on forum, telecommunications nowadays..

 

Welcome, and congrats on getting your dream car.

 

Huge congrats. Nice to see another FD in the NE area. Post pics when you can!

 

Congrats on owning your dream car. Post some pics of it!

 

Welcome, I am a new fd owner as well. Mine has starting problems also (turns over and has fuel) push starting it always makes it start right up

 

:bump: for pictures of the Spaceship

 

I got the car running and all. Turns out the problem with the car was, upon changing the fuel pump. the o-ring that goes on the nipple of it, that connects to the canister, flipped sideways upon installation, restricting the flow of the fuel. It's very tricky how that o-ring needs to be placed when assembling the canister where the pump goes....after having fixed that it started right up and has been reliable since.
Aside from that I got a little high idling going on right now, but that must be a vacuum line or something, nothing major.

thanks for the welcomes fellow rotary enthusiasts!

 

Congrats on the purchase! Your RX7 has a very unique and beautiful combo.

 

Gotta say the red interior is kinda growing on me. Good luck
