The car usually when i start it runs up to 3k then slowly goes down to about 1200 and then once the temp guage jumps up it goes down to idle. Well its didnt today. I started it up it went to 1000 and then dropped to idle within 4 seconds. I checked to see if maybe something got nocked off or wasnt hooked back up but couln't find anything.

is it really warm outside ?

Its cool but not really hot, it used to always warm up regardless of the temp outside. Maybe it had a problem before and its fixed now?

I dont know ill go try and start it again and see what results i have.

my old GTU used to do it 95% of the time. sometimes it would just idle normal. as long as its idling you should be happy. i haven't seen an rx7 that likes idling https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Well i went out and tryed it again before i left and it started up like normal this time but never dropped to idle. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/wtf.gif

the thermal wax might be going bad, or the hoses are plugged

Damn guess i got to work on the car some more again. Ill never get around to modding it if it keeps breaking one part after another.

j9fd3s 02-05-2003 06:20 PM

thats why i recommend a ground up restoration
