Hey, names Chazz
I just traded a 1999 jetta vr6 for a 1988 Mazda rx7.
The car is awesome. Needs alittle tlc but she's a beauty.
Can't wait to get her running again.
It's about 12 degrees here in michigan and she doesn't like it and won't start and hasn't it the past 3 days.
Any advise on what to do?

 

Welcome Chazz.
Without more info you are stuck,frozen!

Please feel free to post a TECH question in..NEW TECH!..where all tech questions can be addressed.

Winter is a real snot bag,and it makes it hard to work on any vehicle.You could just have a frozen gas line,but without any additional info,you are just shooting at the sky.
You said it needs TLC and you can't wait to get it running again,so the question that pops up is WAS it running before it got cold?

 

Yes my rx7 was running a few days ago. The night I traded it it was having a hard time starting.
The morning after I got it I believe I flooded it.
Pulled the spark plugs out and sure enough gas all over them.
Bought new ones and replaced with old ones.
Left everything off and unplugged the fuel pump fuse. And dry started it for about 50 seconds total.
Put everything back in and still nothing.

She has:
Gas
Brand new battery
New spark plugs

Idk what else to do
And it's hard just getting 6 inches of snow.

 

The TLC is mostly for the inside
Needs a new fender on the driver side

But the inside is missing:
Backseat
Carpet in spots
Vents are missing
The control box for the heat and fan is messed up, all the vents open. And she has no heat :/
Rear Defogger doesn't work

 

 

I had the same car.

 

Like the same car? Or just like it?

 

Hey hows it goin, my advise is to get electric heat tape and rap the battery and oil pan, if its a feul problem i wish i could help.

 

nice car!

 

And what would the tape do??

 

Yuck at the snow, but cool pick up. Welcome to the group!

 

It would keep the oil in the engine warm to help it start, also you get more crankingg amp from the battery when its not half frozen.
