Rx7 start-up problems
Hey everybody i recently tried starting my rx7 up after keeping her hidden away in my garage throughout winter (stock 93 fd3s rhd). ( i started her almost everyday) This was the first time she sputtered and wouldn't start. Normally i've never had problems on start-up until now. After a few turn-overs i looked underneath and noticed a pool of gas :scratch: Anyone have a similar problem like this or might have an idea as to what it is? I haven't had time to get under her and start tinkering due to my schedule but maybe a cracked fuel line? My engine doesn't seem to be getting gas so i think that may be it but any advice would be appreciated!

i'm no expert but without the fuel pump running a "cracked" line would only loose the pressure in it wich is not much gas, maybe a shotglass or less.

Start with the de-flooding procedure http://www.rx7.com/tech/unflood-fc.html http://www.rotorwiki.com/index.php/Unflooding Shine some light under the engine bay and try and see where the leak might be dripping down from the block. Also read this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=113638 Could be fuel line, massive flooding, Fuel Pulsation Dampener or other leak. There is also a procedure to test for fuel leaks but I can't seem to find it right now. You are welcome to do a search in the 3rd gen section to find that thread. |
thanks for the info! appreciated
