You can try a new alternator; sometimes-rebuilt ones aren't always the way to go. It could be a fuel problem too. So before you replace the alternator look over the injectors, spark plugs, fuel pump, lines, and make sure you’re not flooded.

Hi everyone, I just finished to subscribe on this forum, I brought a 1984 rx7 from my cousin, there's rust on it. Does someone here know if there are places where I can buy body panels or is it better to buy another rustfree Rx7 and salvage the one I got.

Thnx for your help

Please post in your own topic instead of hijacking someone else's.

You will find parts catalogs linked in the FAQ. With those part numbers, you can order almost any sheet metal body part from Mazda. You could build a body from scratch, if you wanted.
