Im heavily considering on buying an 87 Mazda RX-7 N/A. I found one that is perfect for me it has a bodykit, kong racing rims and tires, aftermarket exhuast and custom paint job and interior and much more! The owner told me that one fuel injector is broken and the radiator hose is leaking. So that seems like its not so hard to get replaced. The car has 116k on it, The only problem is that he told me the only way he can get it started is to 'jump the clutch' but other than that he says it runs great. Now im wondering what i can do to fix that problem? If it means that there could be some bigger problem with it or something. He said it could be the starter but hes not sure. Anybody have any ideas what could be the problem?

 

If there is bad fuel injector, yes it will tend to flood and not want to start. Fixing the injector should solve it.

 

That makes sense, thanks for the help. So you think using the unflooding method will get it started in the meantime?

 

depends on how bad the injector is
