RX-7 Addict Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hello, I'm having trouble and cannot get my car started. I crank the car and it gets to about 800-1000 rpm, and it immediately dies. It may be a fuel issue, not 100% sure. I dont think its an actual motor issue, because the car actually almost starts, but then instead of idling after the cranking, it just falls flat on its face. I am located on OSU campus. I can give beer/money whatever scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 talk to rotarded hes the local rx-7 ninja around here. If he offers to put anything in your pocket, decline. Does the car sit alot? I.e. has it been sitting for a long period of time? Can you keep it alive by giving it throttle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX-7 Addict Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 If he offers to put anything in your pocket, decline. Does the car sit alot? I just drove it Monday night (less than 2 days ago) I.e. has it been sitting for a long period of time? Can you keep it alive by giving it throttle? No, hitting the gas does pretty much the same thing as no pedal.. just fires right up and falls on its face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX-7 Addict Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 ok, update, so I had someone crank the car, and the fuel pressure gauge was reading up to 50psi on the rail itself.. so aparently its likely NOT a fuel problem... hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 well an engine only needs 3 things.... Fuel Air Spark You cant run on 2 of the 3. Start at the housings and work your way outwards and youll eventually find the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Not sure if the new gen has an air flow meter but make sure the connection is snug on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Not sure if the new gen has an air flow meter but make sure the connection is snug on it. also check for a nasty vacuum leak or a loose hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GReddy69rx7 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Have you done any aftermarket mods to it? I had the same problem when I got my sinegle turb conversion. It was a ecu air-fuel and vaccuum hose problem. Yes both of them. If you can get a hold of a shop manual and try to see if you can fix it. RX-7 store (http://www.rx7store.net) is over in hilliard. They might be able to do a free diagnostic for you to see whats up. If not, check out Rotary Warehouse (http://www.rotarywarehouse.com) and talk to Scott. He might be able to offer advice.
