Chassis has alittle over 94,000 miles on it But has A 92 J-SPC motor shipped from canada with 35,000. this cars for you if like the rx7s and well worth it, these cars are getting very hard to find get yours today.

I may have forgotten other stuff im sure i did but thats the most of it, the Price is 2,500 OBO

Should I buy it?

 

2,500 is a good price. If lower even better. Good deal overall assuming body is in good shape. You won't find a TII usually for that low that is in good condition.

 

What do you guys think the starting and idling problems are.

 

Get it compression tested.

Research Hot Start problems.

 

Altuma Battery?..maybe an OPTIMA battery.
ask him where he got the motor in Canada..Tiger is not a nice word.(place)

 

Hot start issue could be leaking injectors, can affect idle too. Idle may also be a dirty BAC or the TPS needs adjusted. It has a few nice upgrades but needs an FCD to go with 3" exhaust or it will have boosting issues.

 

ok so i asked the guy what part of Canada he got his motor from and i'm waiting for an answer........... and i'll check on the injectors to see if they're leaking, and i have no idea what a FCD, or a BAC is so yea

 

FCD = Fuel Cut Defencer (aka FCC - Fuel Cut Controller). Read about exhaust issues here:

BAC = Bypass Air Control

ok that helps thank you i'll look into those when i actually purchase the car

 

OK so i got a question i'm going to look/buy the car this weekend and i was wondering what kind of compression tester i should use and how to use it I've never done a compression check on a rotary so i'm a little lost. I've also been all over the site looking for how to do one and i can't find anything can i get some help please.

 

Take it to a Mazda dealership. Unless you have a compression tester for a rotary which costs around 600 bucks for a 2 rotor tester, it's not 100% accurate using a regular tester.

 

i heard that you could use just a regular piston engine compression tester

 

so i checked the compression on it yesterday, and the fact that i couldn't get it started on top of the low compression..... lets just say i didn't buy the car.

 

A piston engine tester will work just remove the Schroeder valve.
