I recently had a rear engine/transmission seal leak fixed.........almost $1000..........
Still leaks.
Here is a list of problems:
1. Leak (described above)
2. Hesitates....stumbles 90% of the time while trying to HARD accelerate. (So is is electrical.....vacuum......Turbo???)
Some times.........if the turn the car off..........then back on.........the car will accelerate and boost like a beast.......
But........if I turn it off........and back on.........it stops at 0 on the boost gauge.....and stumbles/hesitates badly......so I have to back off the acceleration and slowly accelerate.....but still stops caps off at 0.
I started changing hoses throughout engine.........but I really believe its electrical. Maybe a sensor.....or some pump resetting each time the vehicle is shut off and turned on.
Anybody have a similar problem?
I am seriously hoping I don't have to replace the engines and turbos.
Still leaks.

Sounds electrical as you say the condition changes when you turn on and off again. But a big issue with the twin system can be the solenoids- vaccum routing.
Best is to check all the hoses and clamps, then go to solenoids.

I have written DOT and I am asking them for a Exemption. If that does not work.....looks like 2 ways to bring this back.
1. Show / Display. I will buy another RX7.....the Spirit R. There was only 500 of the 3 Spirit Rs made, for a total of 1500. 500 or less makes it rare or limited according to NHSTA.
2. Take the engine and transmission out of my 2000 RX7.......ship only the car as a parts vehicle. Maybe buy American engine and transmission.
What do you all think?
