Serious staring issues!
Ok first of all im new to the mazda seen just got my first 88 rx7 gxl for 400 bucks guy couldnt figure out the prob! Turns out it was a bad ecu,bad injectors and needed new crank angle sensor! Got that fixed so it started up drove it home took about 20 mins to get home. I turned it off at my house. After i tried turning it on again 5 mins later statrter would keep clicking but didnt fire up! i figured i flooded it, i notice the clicks in the starter started getting quite and more quite till the poing i thought my battery died!So i locked up the car and gave up to go home and read how to unflood! i started the unflooding procedures but now i noticed my car dosent crank at all! All you can hear is a litlle buz and the click from the ignition siwtch but the motor dont turn or the starter dont click battery was tested its good i took out starter and tested it was good also wat could it be? i though mayb when i called it quits i locked the door from the inside and mayb engaed the alarm so its killing my starter but i dont know sumtimes you can herar want to crank but very very very low tone! plz need some help!

Clean the battery terminals, charge the battery and try again. If that fails, the starter motor could be bad, or you could have this problem: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/ive-solves-2nd-gen-sticky-starter-mystery-896013/.

qoute"clicking but didnt fire up! i figured i flooded it, i notice the clicks in the starter started getting quite and more quite till the poing i thought my battery died"Unquote.
.
The ecu needs at least 10 volts to perform it's job.
Sometimes just pulling the EGI fuse is not enough of a "deflood procedure".
The car I have,****,It would flood out so bad,I had New plugs,Each time I went to Deflood.The plugs would get so soaked in gas that I would have to let them sit and Dry out.
Now,Do yourself a favor a put a meter on the Battery Positive cable to see if the thing has "parasitic Draw".(something drawing Current when your Ignition os off).Just to rule out that nothing is killing your Battery that way.
once that is Done,Clean up your cables,connections.
Check the water thermosender at the back of the waterpump to see if is plugged in and In spec.That little Device tells the ecu if the car is hot or Cold.If it isn't working, it will let the car run ok,but it will dump fuel in the engine when you Start it up warm,and it causes the engine to not want to start.(because it thinks the car is Cold all the time.the engine doesn't need as much fuel to start up when warm,so it gags.)
