best bet for you is to unplug the circuit opening relay under the dash (right side of steering column) this disables the fuel pump. crank car, it'll start and run for 10-20seconds or so, then you're good

its the pinkish fuse closest to the engine .. and your looking at the big fuses by the battery just in case u didnt know but i hav a switch for that .....

i think its the intake now cuz the problem i had was probally a loose spark plug wire and now it starts to 1k and die instantly and it only did that with the intake off so i gotta figure it out lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.gif

im sure it has sumtin to do with that it does make sence but i hear a new kind of sound in the intake when it trys to work and before it totally died before it had a vacuum leak sound so im looking for that

i know i need that swap lol but the pink fuse is the fuel relay thats closest to the engine thats whatthe switch was hooked to and i pull that then try starting it to release all the fuel you hav stuck in the engine then reput fuze back then it should start

someone already told me to pull both and crank with WOT for no more then 10 secs 3 times then replace and try to start i did that but all i got was a new sound like it actually wanted to start but something was stopping it from turning over and even though i have my air intake off the tb it should stop it from turning over right? since everything is still hooked up right

check your coolant especially see if there is a lot of pressure in your coolant after you try to turn it on .... cuz to much pressure makes it not start ...so after you unflood it once you put the fuse in open the coolant filler cap and put back on if you have pressure then it should start and you also have a broken seal like me but i kinda fixed that

RicerJ 05-26-2009 11:48 PM

well i get pressure after a few seconds and im finding trace amounts of coolant by the y pipe/end of cat and the start of same cat and then that funky line that runs to that cat has a coolant drip to it too so 3 spots in total if i redo the deflood method should i try with one rad cap off to see if it at least gets it started

i never checked by the cat lol but just every time you deflood your engine make sure you burp the coolant if you get pressure fast cuz it wont start with high pressure

RicerJ 05-30-2009 02:53 AM

well im going to try one more time but im not wasting anymore coolant im going to run straight water since i still have my water pump to install

get a job to afford your habit if you have said job ask for more hours if more hours can be had cover others shifts or ask for a raise if you been there long enough if none of the above works then look for a 2nd job and if your car wont even crank check your main fuse if thats good then check your battery if thats good then you might be in the same boat as me and looking at a rebuild

i think i need a rebuild but i dont care i cant wait for this new engine its japanese with turbo .. 205hp compared to my 148hp lol i want it now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.gif

RicerJ 06-05-2009 10:48 PM

well read up on JDM swaps and see what you need to do also

lovelace 06-06-2009 03:58 PM

i am

RicerJ 06-07-2009 01:57 AM

these motors cant sit for very long without being started and not having problems which is what i see wrong with buying a used engine from japan no matter how much of a gain it is i would see a rebuild after it came here

lovelace 06-08-2009 12:20 AM

i kno thats same thing im thinking im still checking to see if they make sure it works

RicerJ 06-08-2009 01:20 AM

well another question to ask would be do you know how long the engine has been sitting

lovelace 06-14-2009 02:47 PM

i kno thats a main question cuz thats a main reason why mine is bad cuz its a 87 with 94k

RicerJ 06-15-2009 03:04 AM

my engine has 115xxx and went bad because it sat for a year but the guy wasnt sure if it was started during that year

lovelace 06-21-2009 10:47 PM

mine has 94k miles on it .. its funny how you want more miles on a rx7 7 when its this old cuz it shows that it has drivin

RicerJ 06-22-2009 01:21 AM

well it has almost 176k on the body

lovelace 06-25-2009 11:56 PM

i just pulled out my spark plugs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif i figured they wernt firing .. i doubt they are cuz they are hella black i just bought them 2 months ago lol but i did flood alot but damn so im hoping thats why my car was going slow and died .. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif i wish i could go drive and drift right now but only in the 7 thats all iwant todrive but shes dead for now

RicerJ 06-26-2009 02:41 PM

i know what you mean i want to drive mine but i have to save up to have the engine rebuilt

lovelace 06-26-2009 04:48 PM

im stuck driving my dads crapy ford exploder the acceleration is slower than my bike lol he really needs his throttle body cleaned out but hedoesnt kn0ow bout that but i kno cuz every time i drive it like my car for a day the next day it will actually drive good til he drives it slow lol ..so i need to drive my rx7 then it wont drive slow hopefully if it was driving super slow cuz of sparkplugs . just as long as i can get from 0 to over the speed limit in less then 6 seconds im good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

RicerJ 06-27-2009 03:43 AM

lol your dad just doesnt need his tb cleaned he needs something better that wont explode or lose a brake carrier bolt (at least i think thats the model that had that issue for certain years at least)

lovelace 06-27-2009 11:54 PM

i think he needs to buy a fd touring edition with a 3 rotor lol then i will jack it from him lol

RicerJ 06-28-2009 12:53 AM

with either a nice single turbo or sick twins and of course manual
