Hello Fellow RX-7ers,

As you can see Im super new to this forum thing. So new that I didn't really know how to start posting a thread. I figured it out though. Anywho, I have a problem with my FC. It cranks over, but won't start. The problem started about a month ago. I got in my car to run an errand. Warmed it up, then took off (not fast). Doing 30mph on city streets, when all of a sudden the car turned off. I quickly put it on neutral and started it up again, which it did. I had a weird feeling it would turn off again so I pull into a side street a block from my place. The car shut off again, but before shutting off I noticed the check engine light came on, then turned off. I cranked it over, and over, and over. Turned on, then turned off a block after. ANywho, to make a long story short, I would only turn on the car to warm it up and switch sides on the street (due to street cleaning on Mondays). I did this for a month until finally the car just didn't cranked over, no start.
At first, I thought it could be a fuel pump issue, without checking anything and making no diagnoses on the car. Changed it, car cranks over but doesn't start. Battery is good. Pump is good. Don't know if there's spark yet, haven't checked. FC has about 150k miles on it. Maybe it's something more serious internally? Any info on how to make it run again would be grealty appreciated. Im not Rotary savy due to having the car for about a yr.

 

At this point the car is probably flooded, but that doesn't solve the original condition.

Check the wiring around the crank sensor, but that is just a guess. It is hard to say unless the car is currently exhibiting the symptom and we can run tests.

 

Pull the error codes. See link #1. Then do a simple compression check. Link #2.
