Help - RX-7 Firing Problem


Guest KD3321

Recommended Posts

I drove my car home, parked it in the garage, the turbo timer shut off the car and everything was ok. I got back in car a few hours later and started it up. It idled poorly and was bucking. Also, the car was blowing a little smoke which smelled like unburned fuel. I checked under the hood for any obvious problems and found O2 sensor wire broken at the connector. Also changed plugs and problem remained the same. Removed plenum to check ignition coils - coils checked ok but found vacuum hose broken off of pre turbo control sensor. Fixed hose, reinstalled plenum - problem still there. Next day, tried to start car and would not fire at all. Considering taking car to Mazda dealer or Passen Motorsports. Four weeks without my car and I'm going crazy. Any suggestions?

Did you check to make sure your map sensor didn't come disconnected?

 

MAP Sensor = small black box on drivers side, 1" x 2" x 1/2" mounted to the firewall, writing on it probably says DENSO, and possibly "pressure", or "boost pressure". Should have a black hose plugged in the bottom.

 

Symptoms sound like a disconnected map sensor.

 

I would recommend NOT taking it to Passen *OR* a Mazda dealer.

 

What part of town is your car in?

 

BTW: Who are you? :D
