ok well i didnt drive the 86na for the weekend. i try to start it on monday and nothing happends. i think the battery is going dead so i jump it with my moms car and it wouldnt start. the i guess would start but not turn over. it smells rich. i dont really romp it but i know the guy before me did it alot (even though he said he didnt) anywho. what do you think my problem is. it was running fine on friday. no noticable change when i drove it. it felt fine. i did dive it on a long drive on the same friday about 1 and 1/2 one way. there is a clicking sound to the engine but i havnt located it yet. have you guys had any thing like this i might use to fix. i only have about 2 hundo right now to play with.

 

Ya happen to my s/4 couple years ago. Replace ur main fuse thats what happen to me. When it happen to my car i had no guage lights at all.

Checked the main fuse (80 amp under hood) and it was blown, replaced it and no probs since its been 3 yrs now

 

so is it flooded?

 

yeah no **** it sounds like its flooded. pull egi fuse, turn over a couple times, and enjoy.. hopefully.

 

thanks for the advise i will try it tommor when i have light its 1024. i dont think i flooded it but i will see. do you guys konw how it would sound if it had a rolled apex seal?

 

like ****. hahah.


if you wanna know if you busted an apex seal then look up how to do a compression test. i'm too lazy to explain it all right now

 

IF UR car is turning over than dont worry about what i put.

 

about the flooding- you should crank it for at least a minute with the EGI fuse pulled. when mine flooded, i had to crank a long *** time before it cleared out.

 

ok well i have bad news i guess its bad news. ok so i took out my spark plugs to check the spark to see why it wasnt starting. i didnt try my egi yet cus i had to do other car repairs around the house anywho. i took the plugs off and in my primary holes where the spark plug goes in was filled with oil. here is a few pics i took today of the car and what i mean tell me what you all think



oops i almost for got the pics

It's flodded. or bad control rings.
1take out the trailing plugs leave the leading in.
2pull the plug on the crank angle sensor
3 pull out the fuel pump fuse
4crank it for a minute or two.
5clean and dry all the plugs.
6reconnect CAS,
7plug the fuses in,
8put your spark plugs in.
9enjoy

 

wow I haven't seen a rotary with emissions intact in a long time, now I remember why I removed all that **** Seriously though, rx7s break a fair amount, try to not stress about it and things will go much smoother.

^^^^ why not just pull the EGI fuse, it cuts spark and fuel.

 

i was just hoping that it wasnt an apex seal

 

It's probably not an apex seal but if your oil control rings are broken you will need a rebuild anyway, so it's not really any better. It's weird for them to break though, usually they just gradually deteriorate until the engine smokes too much to tolerate.

I'm trying to think of some way you could get a ton of oil in there otherwise and I'm not really seeing it. The metering pump doesn't pump that much. I guess if the engine spun a really long time without any fuel to burn the oil off it might pile up in there. Still seems really weird.

 

one think i would like to make a point is why oil pressure gauge is never at one spot. when i am just at iddle its says 0 if i just doing normal driving around town not taking it above 3 its says i am doing about 30lbs i think its lbs anywho when i romph it it peaks 60 is this normal. somthing else that might help with figuring out what is wrong is i get really bad gas mi i adverage 250 to 278mi out of a tank i drive about 20 mi to work but its all highway mi which are only going 60mi/hr i am just going to get new plugs and plug wires to see if it helps


gzzzzzzzzz making a list like this makes me feel like i bough a peice

 

Oil pressure goes up and down all the time, that's normal.

Your mileage is a little bad, new plugs + wires might fix it.

 

well i only have 90k on the car. and with the oil pressure i konw it goes up and down but i just didnt think it would have and lose that much pressure. its just every time i have ever beeen in a car with a oil pressure gauge it doesnt move that much

 

hey when you all said pull the egi fuse which one where you talkling about? the egi comp or the egi inj? ether way i am going out to pick up a fsm and maybe a trouble shooting book with it

 

should be the 3rd one down from the top. 40a green fuse if it hasnt been changed

 

where the hell is your fan shroud!? Does your car overheat?!

 

EGI INJ is the one you want.

 

i dont have a fan shroud either, the car will sometimes get a lil warm in the summer but its oregon we can get away with anything

 

i autocrossed in texas summer with no fan shroud and no belt on the air pump (like this guy).
it got hot.. but never actually overheated. he might be ok. well assuming he gets it running anyway.

 

well first oof why the hell are we looking at the back of your head as if i can diagnose a problem besides big ******* idiot syndrom!!!! remember everyone the rotary engine is oil injected duh so theres the oil and all you neeed to do is take all the plugs out burn the **** off with a torch and before you put the plugs back in you need to take the egi and the inj fuse out and hold the throttle open all the way and crank for like ten seconds put you fuses and plugs back in and keep doing this till it starts. or to make things even simpler if its a manual have someone pull or push you down the street and bump the damn thing if you cant figure out what bumping a car is pm me and i will draw you a map and dont worry i will leave out any pics of the back of my head. !!!!!!!!!!

 

heres a map for you pleasure
