1984 FB rx7 won’t crank cold morning
 
ok so I got up to go to school and I went and started my car it took a few tries because it was 34 degrees but it started and ran I let it sit to warm up I went inside to grab my coffee and my brother so we could go to school and when I came outside it was dead but I could turn the lights on and off but when I turned the key there was nothing anybody know anything that could be the problem

Welcome to the board. :)

Just so I'm understanding this ... (1) the car started, (2) you left it running, (3) it shut off by itself, (4) it won't restart? Is that it?

Is it cranking at all?

If it is ...
1. might be flooded

If it's not ...
1. starter or loose ground
2. main fusible link

Yes that is it and no it won’t crank the lights in the cabin won’t even turn on just the headlights no turn signals or anything

Check the driver's side strut tower and locate the fusible links. It sounds like you lost the main. You can replace them with . I would advise replacing all 3 at the same time. I can't remember the ratings (amps) you actually need once you convert it from the resistances listed.

Also, I'll link this thread with the one you started in the Gen 1 forum, and close this one.

Your Gen 1 forum thread
