The starting problems become more tricky
Ok, I did search around the forums for everything I could possibly have done. This is what I have narrowed down so far.
I've done the EGI Fuse trick which worked a few times but some cases it doesn't. After that I tried to check my spark plugs for being fouled. I took it in to get the compression checked and everything showed fine at 93psi at the Front/ 94psi at the rear. My wires show that I have sufficient spark although I can't really find a method for the fuel system.
When I tried pulling out the Trailing spark plugs for deflooding, the fuel sprayed out like it should so I know I'm getting fuel.
So, it started again fine today. I took it for a 20 minute drive and visited a friend's house. After about a good hour, we decided to hit up another friend's house although my car decided to be cranky....yet again. So I tried the simple EGI fuse about 3-4 times to no avail. This is honestly getting irritating and I'm starting to regret buying this car.
Any other methods would really help out if anyone knows any other suggestions.
Thanks.

Dirty injectors are sometimes to blame, but the stock fuel map is the real cause. You can try sending the injectors out for a sonic cleaning, but the overall fix is an ECU with adjustable start maps. The Rtek 2.x modified stock ECUs allow it.
There is however a cheap fix that will make hot starts easy, but cold starts a little tougher. Take a look at this thread here: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/looking-car-has-hot-start-problems-499744/. Post #21 is what you want, but you should also read the rest.
