i posted this at BARTORARY but i'll post here too.

ok, i desperately need some help here guys. i will pay anyone $200 or more if more than expected work needs to be done. right now my car can't start. its sitting at theshop and no one can figure out whats wrong. i just had a haltech installed along with upgraded fuel injectors, fuel lines, fpr, and fuel pump. the car started a couple times after the installation. but now it doesnt start anymore. i need to bring the car to fremont to steve kan in june to get it tuned so i need to get the car started ASAP! we adjusted the timing, checked the fuel injectors and they are not leaking and firing properly. im looking for someone who knows rotaries in and out and with some basic haltech experience. i just need to get the car started and in driveable condition. its a 88 TII. please call me or PM me asap. My name is Damon. 415-218-5902. thanks

 

i'll be passing thru SF on Saturday...I can possibly take a look at it for you. Have you verified spark? Does it turn over?

 

u can hear the car cranking but thats it. the guys at theshop told me there is spark, but they said when they took out my spark plugs, it was severly flooded. im gonna try to replace my spark plugs tomorrow.

 

before replacing the spark plugs, unplug the fuel pump and crank the car over for 10-15 seconds...do it a couple of times and re connect the pump. you want to clear the fuel out of the block. if you just replace the plugs, you'll foul them too.

 

+1 remove the spark plugs disconnect the pump, and turn the motor over to get all the fuel out of the motor...

Clean the spark plugs with carb cleaner and a wire brush really good.

Crank her over...

 

check back with us....

 

remove plugs,
pull fuses
crank engine w/o plugs.
let fuel spew out
clean plugs
add ATF to lower plug holes
insert clean plugs and fuses
start

 

what if its not a flooding issue? someone from barotary said it could be my fpr and i need to adjust the fuel pressure....

 

well thats why you still have to un-flood the motor, get it started to adjust the fuel reg...

 

Ask Sk8rwillow he's a elite when it comes to rotary in genetal. In fact, he owns a shop, lucky7racing

Man, he's the best!

 

sounds like flooding to me.

 

Damn it! can't edit my post lol I meant General.

 

what haltech are you using?

 

im using a E6X. but seriously, thanks for all your input. i followed every step of your directions. worked great. injectors were all wet, took em out, cleaned it with brake cleaner, lit it on fire to burn everything off. kept trying to crank the car and sooo there were so much fuel in there. we found that the BAC was not hooked up for some reason?? so that coulda been a factor. anyways, got the car started and the idle was all messed up. first the car just starts, then die. messed with the idle a bit and it got a little better but it still kept jumping up and down. we found that the throttle body was messed up, wouldnt open and close properly so that could be caused of the bad idle. im gonna try to replace both the throttle body and the BAC. currently running the base map from the haltech forum
"E6K - Map, Street Port Motor, 550/800cc injectors, 3bar MAP sensor, TO4 Turbo, FMIC, stock Ignition/Coils."
thats probably the closest map i can find to my car. its everything without the TO4 turbo and fmic.
thanks again for all your input.

 

sometimes.. even if you pull and clean a fouled sparkplug, it still won't fire. Check all the plug wires with a timing light... you might just need to get new plugs

 

summarize please.
i dont wanna read a novel.

 

RX7

Turbo

Haltech

Misfire

 

car starts after cleaning spark plugs & unflooding & found BAC unplugged
idle goes up and down
found that my throttle body is bad
replacing throttle body & BAC

 

i agree with the plug comment above. it's been my experience to just replace the plugs after a flooding incident. I keep a spare set on hand


(just the leadings)

 

i tried to start it today.... and it wouldnt start...... =\ am i gonna have to keep taking out the spark plugs everytime?

 

thanx...........................simple answer, JUNK IT.

 

no mercy goofy

 

are your injectors leaking? before shutting off the car hold the throttle at like 3k and turn off the engine. may help to bleed off some fuel pressure if your injectors are leaking.

 

car starts most of the time now, but the idle is like 2500-3000 rpm...

 

Adjust the throttle cable.
