Started having hot start issues with my 94 rx7 last night. Common crank but no start when hot. Put a little oil down the intake and started up fine.

Car runs fine when hot and pulls supper hard, just wont start.

Did a compression test and got these numbers, thoughts ?



Rotor number 1


Rotor number 2

 

Hi Friend - Sorry to hear about your new issue. Your compression should be near 100psi in Florida. The readings you are getting seem to indicate you are showing 0.00 psi. I apologize I can't be more help. Are you sure your tester and your test procedure is sound?

 

So I actually got the test done in Oklahoma, so 1200 ft elevation.

The thing is, the car idles and runs great, pulls super hard still, also starts cold no problem.

 

Check out paragraph 8.1 and 8.2 of the photo. That is what I was getting at. Not the elevation.

 

Ahh I see what you're getting at.
As far as the tester goes, I'm unsure about the accuracy of it, but I followed the procedure as stated. For how well it runs I am doubting a compression issue and am leaning towards an ignition issue...

Ill have some time to investigate this weekend, and let you all know

 

Is that tester reading kPa, not psi

 

Yes its in kPa

 

Took the car to a meet tonight, and it hot starts no problem, I'm leaning more towards electrical

Going to do a compression test with a mechanical gauge as well to double check the numbers.
