My motor actually turns over!

Today I finally checked, and the motor in my RX-4 actually spins! I've had the car for 9 months now and never even checked until now (car is far away from me, that's part of my excuse.) Sunday I'm going to see if maybe it will run. If it had brakes I'd try to drive it!

Of course it IS the wrong motor...

Nice..
I might be getting a 80's Rx7, going to use the motor, and trans out of it for my Rx2, then sale the shell.

How far away is the car to you anyways?.

I'd try putting new plugs in it, checking that the ignition is proper, then pull the sucker down the road and see if she'll start. Make sure you can STOP, though. Good luck! -Mike

It has a 12A in it.
It's a half hour away from me in my cousin's yard.
