1986 RX7 Won't Start Tried Everything!!! Help!
I need help bad. I have a 1986 rx7 n/a with an 88 engine in it. The past 2 weeks, my radio shut off randomly one day when I started the car and now it won't start...Well I got off of work two days ago, and went to start my car. It wouldn't start! So I try deflooding it...and it still wouldnt start. Ive tested the battery and alternator two weeks ago, when my alternator belt was loose and slipped and my car broke down on the highway,and they tested both fine...The belt was tightened...and I don't know what this can be...
The car turns...so I am not thinking it is my starter
The lights and **** work...so I think the battery was fine...plus it was tested
Alternator- tested...
De-flooded(took fuse out...turned key a bit, put fuse back in, tried starting)
I'm thinking it may be my spark plugs, and I bought some recently, but guess I only bought the leads...took forver to install one...and it didnt change anything...is it worth changing the L2...or is that even the problem?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

check air fuel spark, deflood it again, take off a fuel line and have a friend crank, if fuel comes out your cool on fuel
take out the air filter , put your hand there and have a friend crank, if you feel suction your cool on air.
take out a sparkplug wire and put it close to the plug but not on, have a friend crank, if you can see a spark from the wire to the plug your cool on spark.
this is not the best way to check for air fuel spark but the ghetto way my father taught me.
maybe bad starter relay, im new to rx7's but toyota supras have a big problem with cranking over and over but no start from a bad relay
