First of all Id like to thank the people on the rx7 forums for helping me troubleshoot my flooded 93 fd3s

That was just the first problem that I did end up resolving with your help!

My actual problem which was the main issue before I flooded it was, my car losing total power and running really rough ! Im torn between blow seals, or a vacuume leak? I was searching around and happened upon this youtube video of another FD and it sounds EXACTLY like mine. Unfortunately there was no solution posted under the video so I thought if I posted the link to the video someone in the forums may have had this issue or has an idea what it is !

Thanks again !

A compression test should reveal if you have a seal problem.

Sounds like mine. No compression on the rear. Low vacuum. Extremely rich.

That does not sound all that rough idling. Sounds like you may have an exhaust leak at the downpipe and the exhaust sounds kinda crappy overall but that might just be b/c its a fart cannon exhaust.

Take it to an rx7 shop and have them do a compression test. Or go to the 3rd gen FAQ thread and use the link in there to do your own compression test.
