Trouble starting one dry plug
SO i am working with my son on a 1986 NA RX7. We bought the car with no engine or transmission. None of the wires were cut on the car, but none were labeled either. We bought a used eng and trans that was supposed to be in good shape and it did appear that way. So after connecting everything up - wires and hoses, filling with fluids, we fired it up last weekend. It ran for a few minutes- lots of oil smoke, then quit. We had no fuel pressure so i put in a new pump- . now while cranking we get between 40 and 50 pounds. The car seems to want to start if i shoot it up with starter fluid- it will run up thru the RPM's till it runs out of that.....then i check thee plugs and three of them are wet like it's flooded, the lower front plug is always DRY!- it doesn't even smell like gas. Which injector is responsible for this? I am thinking if i solved this problem, maybe it would start and keep going? Any help would be appreciated. Lots of experience with engines, none with rotaries! Pat
