Hey guys my name is Emmanuel and im 16 ive had the 7 for 3 months now and everything was fine and dandy but now im having some problems and if anyone could help me by coming over and talking a look atleast and giving me a suggestion to what is atleast wrong i would be very very happy and compinsate u for your time

ok well this is whats going on with it so far..

one day as i was driving it the lights began flickering i made it home and checked the alternater and sure enough that sucked was dead. Replaced that and tries starting it up and ....it started but only for a few seconds then it began to die and would only run if i held the gas down but would backfire constatly and had absolutedly no power and when i tried to put it in gear would outright die. Suspecting the ecu i replaced it but the problems continue i am realy descuraged and could use any help...thx

pm me if u are interested in helping me....

 

oh its a 1991 na coup

 

replace, the battery, it may have a dead cell, if the alty went bad it is possible, pm me your number and maybe this weekend nieto or myself can get up with you to help you out

 

Fuel problem maybe?
The starter-motor draws alot from the battery. I would think if the battery was bad the car would crank poorly. And if it starts, an u have to mess with the gas pedel to keep it runing, I would think that u have a Idle problem. And/or a TPS problem.

And... These cars tend to flood if u don't warm them up befor u shut them down.
If that happens... pull the EGI fuse,then crank it a couple times, put EGI fuse back in then try to start it. This process might need to be repeated.

I started an rx7 for sale in a used car lot once. It would start but it had no power, there was a lot of miles on it, the seals might have been going/gone.

Welcome to the interesting life of owning a RX7.

A problem with my car is, my alternator belt keeps getting loose.

Later.

 

Give me a call .... maybe I can help ... 571-0809 might have t lv msg ... but will call u back.

Sounds like a dead motor symptom to me. I really hope that's not what it is though.

Ken, good to see you posting on the forums. Berry and I do miss the Charleston crew and the SC RX-7 club as well. Things in Cali just aren't like they were back there.

nieto and i checked it out, motor sounds good, it is most likely an electrical prob, it seems to start almost as soon as the cold start system would cut off. really cant diagnose it without taking stuff apart.

 

so it still wont start? You can swap some parts from my S5 GXL if you want to troubleshoot, just let me know

 

thx for all the help guys il keep yall updated
