NoPistons -Mazda Rx7 & Rx8 Rotary Forum - FC died while driving now wont start.

hey hey guys.. i cant say that im happy posting an issues but i am a lil excited to see what you guys come up with. . kinda sux that my 1st post happens to be a problem but hey.. live and learn.

heres the story.

this past friday car was running great went to work at 8 got out and 4pm went to school to do my final in cerritos car was only off for a bout 1.5 hrs. waited for it to fully warm up. then i drove to a homies house for a pool party. got there around 8 and we started to leave at 12. i come to to turn the car on and it just cranks no turn over..i thought it was flooded. but wasnt sure how that happend. i was a bit too buzzed deal with it so i got a ride home and came back in the morning.

did the whole unflooding routine and worked great. started up with no hassle which i thought was odd cuz if it was flooded wouldnt it sputter a lil bit 1st then turn over? anyways. this was about 14:20 on saturday afternoon.

i drive over to my friends house in torrance to go kick it and and we went the local stop 7/11 to drop off a red box movie.

car was drving fine but i did notice that none of my dash lights other than the"shift" light would come on and i had no tail or brake light. it was still light out so i wasnt too worried about it. and thought id look at it when i got home.

out of nowhere the car shut off on me while i was decelerating to make a left turn at the light.

tried the who deflooding thing again. ( i know im a noob i know lil of rotary) obviously that was not the cause cuz afte 1.5hr the car turned on, waited for it to warm up again and tried to get it home asap cuz i didnt know if was gonna do it again.

going home on the 91 at aroun 8pm with no taillights is scary. the car was driving great no loss in power when i came out on the willmington exit off ramp light i i was decelerating again and yes the car shut off. thankfully the light was green and rolled thru the intersection and down the hill. i tried to use the momentum to clutch pop it to start but no go. so i had it towed from there. and now im posting this for some responses.

here it goes..

1- FC SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING (noticed it only happen when i was slowing down to turn or come to a stop light.

i cant really explain too many symptoms but here is what i got.

i did notice some funky hot idling, cold start idling holds stead at 1.5k rpm sometimes a lil lower. cold start still works. ummm what else.

im thinking it could be fuel pump? timming? alternator? im not really sure.

oh my head lights work fine just no turn signal dash lights or tail or break.. but im thinking that it may not be related. any ideas?
