My fc will be legal Thursday and I have an issue I'm still trying to solve. I can't push my throttle down more then halfway or my 7 will bog down until I back off the gas. Ya no idea what's going on lol

jackel

Time for New plugs, wires, etc?

That was my first thought to so I replaced them and same story

SequelR2

Not sure but maybe a junked up fuel filter could be why it bogs down when you mash z gas.

Hmm never gave that much thought, ill look into it, some others on here are saying I need to adjust my tps or some jumper wire on my AFM. I'm still trying to grasp the information I'm being fed lol

jackel

Idk why I didn't think of that. I just had to replace the fuel filter in my daily car. It was bogging/sputtering when driven, the fuel filter had collected a lot of condensation from the fuel tank. Could be your problem. As always, start with the cheapest/easiest solutions depending in your situation.

Looks like that will be the next thing I try then whenever I'm out by autozone lol I heard fram filters are bad for rotorys, is this true? If so then what one should I use? Bosch?

My bad, I don't know why but I was thinking "oil" filter haha never replaced a fuel filter before. Hard?

jackel

After a skim through my haynes manual, it looks fairly straight forward. Of course, that is just in theory lol. Filter is under hood, so no messing with the tank, always good news in my eyes.

Ill probly pick it up this weekend along with a new thermostat, if the filter doesn't fix my bogging down issue then idk what to do next lol

jackel

Double check the label/internet for rotary safe-ness, but while your at the parts shop, grab a bottle of "HEET" (its called iirc). Add to gas tank, should remove moisture from the lines as well. Ive been adding it every tank in the Saturn, no problems since. Again, be sure its safe for our cars first lol.

Hmm ill look into it, sounds interesting. How about SeaFoam? Iv used that with great results on my other cars but is it rotory safe?

jackel

I have heard both ways on seafoam. I would browse arouns the forums for a much better answer then this lol. If im not mistaken, it works (when added to fuel tank) about the same way as HEET.

Ya iv heard both sides too. Seafoam has always helped me out before, I think ill try it in the tank a a little in a vac line.

so its about that time of the month to set up another meet id say (just wanna stay ontop of things so we can keep it up). got a message from a group of 3 or 4 guys out in greensboro who are willing to make the drive to our next get together. any thoughts or ideas of when? where?

SequelR2

Hope that filter thing helps you out kstout that's the only thing I could think of really. Never heard of Seafoam before will look into it.

jackel

I assume best buy worked out well for the last meet, so why not keep the same venue? Ill attempt to get off work if we decide on Saturday again.

Seafoam is in most parts stores. I typically deal with advance. Its a white can, red lettering (iirc) in the fuel additive section.

Ya bestbuy worked out good but somthing just happend with my 7 about 5 mins ago so I don't know if I can make this time..... I went to go start and it wouldn't turn over, when it finally did I went to drive it and noticed that my gas gauge was wayyy below the E like it wasn't even working, I just put a quater tank in it last night. So I turnd around and started to head back home with smoke started to enter the cabin. I parked it and looked under the hood, only thing I could spot was my alt. belt snapped. I have no idea What's going on with my car and can't afford a new engine or car. Someone please help me out here, I really don't want to sell or scrap my RX7 but if somthing is really jacked then I have no choice.

jackel

Damn kstout! You stay having problems dont you?

iTrader: (1)

Ya... just one thing after another... ill upload a pic today of my tstat housing that blew up...

jackel

I wouldnt think it would be too hard to find a replacement. Speaking of which, just tried (key word) starting mine. Its either extremely flooded, or some other new problem. I think your bad luck! J/K

Ya mazdatrix sells them for like $75 but I know a guy who has one for $45. Didn't think a metal tube could cost so much haha but I hope you get yours up and running for our next meet whenever that is.

jackel

I did, it was just flooded. I may look in to this issue. It has been doing it alot recently.
