So here is my noob evening...please don't flame...I'm not a really confident guy and I tried to be confident for once and everything went bad...I really hate my life right now...

So, I just got my driver license today and I bought my first car (RX-7 1986 n/a) last friday. I was really happy but, I never drove a stick shift car before and of course my rx7 is manual...I was really eager to try my "dream come true", problem is, none of my friends were free to learn me how to drive stick shift tonight and I was alone...

So I did what everyone would do (yeah right...), watched about 4-5 youtube videos on how to drive a manual car and I read like 2-3 "how-to" on internet...and so I thought, alright i'm gonna try to do it in my parking...

So

First time, I stalled...

Second time...I stalled again...but since my driveway is a hill, I ended up about 1/3 in the street...So, I turned on my emergency lights and e-brake and tried to restart the car...Problem is, that time it wouldn't start. I could hear it trying to ignite but it wouldn't start...

So, I tried about a million thing...

I was in 1st when I stalled so I tried:

--> While in first gear :
1. Pressing down the clutch and turning the key - not working
2. Pressing down the brake and turning the key - not working
3. Pressing down the gas and turning the key - not working

So, I then decided to put my car in neutral... and do all of this again

1. Pressing down the clutch and turning the key - not working
2. Pressing down the brake and turning the key - not working
3. Pressing down the gas and turning the key - not working

So, for the grand finale...I putted the car in first gear and pressed the brake and the gas pedal while turning the key and releasing the e-brake...

that time, the car slowly went forward...making a really bad noise... and now, although it's not in the middle of the street anymore, it still won't start......

So my questions are:

1. what should I have done after stalling....to turn on the car...put it to neutral ? leave it in first gear ? which pedal ? ...etc...
2. Have I damaged my FC ?
3. Why did it went forward and uphill...when the engine wasn't even starting...
4. Is it possible that the reason why my rx7 won't start is because the engine is clogged because it wasn't warm enough when I stalled it ? (oil temp. was about 90-95...)

thanks...and again, please don't flame...I was just too impatient...Now I f*cked everything up...

 

first of all, chill out everything will be okay

sounds like you might have just flooded the engine a bit. the car probably lunged forward cause you were in first gear. the car is always going to move when in gear, then die out if not given gas

quick way to clean out a fluded engine is to pop the hood, look to the right shock tower where you will see the main fuses, pull the EGI fuse out (i think its green) and crank the car over for 5 seconds or so.this disables the fuel system, allowing you to burn off the flood.

reinstall the EGI fuse, and start the car from neutral just to be safe
and you have to always step completely on the clutch and turn the key to start the car. stepping on the brake and or gas alone will get you no where.

good luck! and welcome to the **** ton of pain and debt that we know as the rx7
