first get a test light.. test the socket of the cig lighter for voltage.. if there is none, move to the back of the cig lighter and check for voltage at the wire..

 

So I start up my rx7(engine cold), oil pressure normal, everything normal, drive it for 20 minutes.. oil pressure gauge drops near zero.. sorta hovers around that range, idle drops rapidly... traveling through the city, stop at a red light.. idle 600 rpms, and 25% of the time its just barely running, my engine is barely running, and alot of the time it stalls. When you start is up again after it stalls the same problem happends.. its like the engine has no idle at all just stalls.. like the engine has no pressure :s. By the way Im pretty sure my stock oil pressure gauge only works half the time.. but I have ordered another one.
Iv read a forum about the idling, and one guy said there was a idle adjustment screw, well there is a unknown black peice of plasic overtop of it...

I have my car booked for a mechanic but it would be nice if I could fix the problem ahead of time

 

nevermind I fixed the problem,
It was a loose vaccum hose =)

 

where can i fine swap info for my 90 convert w/auto tran i want to put turbo II set up.
thanks

 

I just had my oil plan replaced (my mechanic said it was oil was leaking from the back of the engine). Now it's leaking worse, coming from the front of the engine. What would it be? what could it be? (1989 RX7 non-turbo 5 speed). Thanx.

 

ok so i have a 90 S5 vert, she needs a rebuild coming up and im wondering how much it would cost to change it to a turbo instead of just having an non turbo.
a friend got a rebuild with transmission rebuild for $5,500. if i do the rebuild myself what will i need to make it a T2 turbo?

 

Hey... I tried to get this question answered before but still am having trouble finding the information that I need.

I bought a full exhaust and fuel cut defenser from racing beat but was ill advised and did not compensate for the extra boost by upgrading the fuel system. I understand that the increased boost leans out the mixture to dangerous levels. I don't drive the car hard all the time but I do get into it now and then. I have checked the compression which is fine, but I want to know if I have done any damage to the engine? Will I be ok if I start modifying the fuel system properly at this point? thanks for any help.

 

I have a 1985 rx7 which originally had a carburated 12A motor which has been replaced with a carburated 13B motor. The replacement was done by a previous owner.
I'm having some problems with fuel starvation and wondering if the fuel pump and fuel filter should have been replaced at the same time. If so, is there any way, via a part number confirmation or identification, to know if this had already been done?
If not, I'd appreciate any advice you could give me for a solution.

thx,
mike

 

My question( and thanks in advance for the help) is about my fc. i got a s4 TII. theres a beeping noise I cant get rid of in my car. sounds like its coming from behind radio. Any idea on what this could be???

My other question is simple. I ordered and installed a jdm mushroom air filter. do you think this is a better application than the stock?? I left the one part that sucks the could air into the engine compartment but its only function is to direct the air towards the air filter. Shortly after i did this, acceleration gets jumpy between 5-8k rpms. I know i need new spark plugs but i dont know if thats the root of the prob. spark plugs should be here within a couple days. thanks for the help

 

Rxzeben... unfortunately when it comes to turbos they're just like strippers

 

ya no joke! it sucks cuz i still keep wishin my wallet wouldnt be so empty.

 

i have a small amount of surface rust on one of my rotors, i know to use emery paper, but wat grit?

cheers

 

I have a holley 465, moderate street port, racingbeat street ported intake, headers, and exhaust. The carb came jetted for a stock motor (thats what I had when i bought it) and now with the upgrades she's running kinda lean. What kinda re jet kits do suggest or recomend?

 

i'm kind of a newb at this rx7 stuff i know a little bit though. i just want to know if a turbo2 tranny would work on a N/a 13b motor? and if so would it improve any performance?

thanks! -steve

 

I got a 86 S4 n/a with auto trans and Im going to supercharge it. Can i swap the ecu with a n332 or n333 turbo ecu ? If its the ecu will work, then I can get a turbo MAF and a turbo boost pressure sensor ? If I can not use the ecu, I was going to use an adjustable FPR and keep the boost low to see what adjustments are needed.

 

Hi i have 2 questions.. im looking for someone to help me install my microtech for the good price please help... and i am so confused on how to run the oil lines for my turbo.... oh i have an s4 TII 13b with an upgraded garrett turbo and can someone please help me.. thank you

 

I want to rebuild a 93 Rx7 motor, I think its third gen? but I know very little I am looking for more of a 'point the finger' kind of thing to get me going in the right direction.

 

Will an 86 N/A transmission and clutch bolt up to a T2 S4 engine. Is there any kind of difference between and N/A Tranny and a T2 tranny? Or what kind of tranny would you recommend bolting up to an S4 T2 Engine. Is this engine worth it http://www.bestofjdm.com/JDM-ENGINE-.../jdmmazda3.htm
Or should I go with atkinsrotary.com or rotaryresurrection.com instead. I am asking because I am planning on doing a T2 swap into my 86 N/A.

Thanks

 

I'm having problems with my omp and the guy I just bought my car from said he messed up on putting the lines on. He said thats when the car stopped working I was wondering if the omp makes the motor gain compression on start up? Thanks

 

i have a 1980 12 a and i wish to replace it with an 86 13b comes with full transmission and what not but im not sure how much work this will entail and im not sure what will have to be modified... or if anyone knows where i can get another 12a in canada that would be great ...

 

If you unplug the brake booster will that affect the car?
Cause my friend did that and now I got mushy brakes D:

 

Hi, my tachometer is acting funny. just randomly dies and randomly comes back to life and works fine. Been like that for the last lil while.
I've looked up some sites and it seems to be related to the alternator? when i had it inspected before, the guy says I might need to replace the alternator in the near future. what do you think?

Thanks

 

1991 fc. when i start the car i notice that it sprays something black out of the exhaust, leaving marks on cement. When i am finished running the car i can hear a sizzling noise. i took a look and sure enough its something in my exhaust, it sounds like its boiling in there...do you know what this is, why its there, and how to go about fixing this problem?? thank you much in advance!

 

I have a friend who has a 1990 S5 GTU. It seems to have an overheating problem. When you start the car, use the car, let it idle, the choke lasts a long time. I live in San Diego, so temperature shouldn't really be an issue. Then, the temperature goes almost until the "H" on the temperature gauge, but on the line of the normal. The warning lights say add coolant, but we just filled the radiator and engine with coolant. Pressure stays in the cooling system even four hours after the car has been used. We replaced the water pump, thermostat, and radiator cap. Oh yeah, there used to be corrosion inside of the cooling system, since the previous owner only filled it with water and let it sit for half a year or so. What else could be the problem? Could the coolant system be clogged with corrosion, after recently flushing the system?

 

hey i have an 87 gxl, when i got it about a year ago the cd player worked (radio sort of worked) now there seems to be no power at all to the stereo i checked every fuse, tok out the radio checked the connections and fuses and cant find anything wrong anyone have any ideas?
