Apparently the guy who had the car before me took out the starter assist for this car. Is there any reason someone would do such a thing? I see on one thread that there was a TSB that was issued for this but it doesn't seem to be for my year RX7.

Here's a little insight:

The car starts like crap, I feel like it takes WAY too long to start the car even though I have the HKS Ignition Amplifier but it really doesn't seem to do anything since the first start every morning is a cold one and it takes a couple minutes or about 4-6 starting attempts to get the car actually going. It basically sounds like the battery has been left on and it won't turn over right away unless I just ran the car for a bit.

Can anybody point me in the right direction or help me with this please? Do I need a whole new starter or just an additional piece? Are there any other suggestions that you may have for this? Let me know please,

Cody

 

i have heard of people taking out the starter assist to free up air flow in fact my friend just bought a 1987 wear someone did this same thing. you might be able to get the choke set-up from a junkyard if you want too. but the rotary's aren't notorious for being easy to start in cold weather especially from what i have read.

 

look into installing a rellay for more amps a buddy of mine had the same issue.. damn i forgot to ask him for the thread
