crank won't start.
i do get spark.

need help!!

 

Try this, under your steering wheel there is a relay, detach it and crank till your engine wants to turn.. as soon as it seems it wants to turn re-connect it right away. let us know if that worked. pictured of that relay looks like this one.

 

tried it. didnt work. any other suggestions?

p.s noticed i put '98 GXL smh... i meant '88
srry for the typo

 

Take out the plugs,and remove the EGI fuse( engine bay fuse block) ,and roll the engine over without the plugs in,That will expel any gas that is in the engine.(roll over about 10 seconds)
Clean the plugs up,(you can touch the plugs with a flame and burn off any gas but do not HOLD under the flame for a long period of time).
Put about a tablespoon or so of Motor oil in the spark plug holes and roll the engine over for about 3 seconds,
Then Put the plugs back in.,and put the fuse back in.
Start with NO foot on the pedal.
It may need to be repeated but this is a tried and true Deflood procedure.

 

still didnt work...

in LA. any info would help thanks

okay i finally got it to start today!!
stayed on for about 1 minute
and then turned off...

stay on.
any help is welcomed,
thanks

 

just noticed that the previous owner of the rx 7
i bought had stripped the screw where the
crank angle sensor sits. (not sure what its called "noob")
is there any way or does anyone know how to take it
out so i can replace it.

 

Do you mean the stud that it goes onto with a M6x1.0 locknut, or the phillips head screws that hold the blind cover on the CAS? All of these see under 10ft.lbs of torque and the CAS mounting stud is integrated into the front cover. Trying to weld a bolt on there would be difficult to impossible because of the dissimilar metals being joined. If you do need to replace the front cover, I have a spare one if you're interested. Pretty sure it's S4
