I am looking for any help and suggestions that is out there. I have a 88 rx7 13b na. It has been freshly rebuilt and I have checked to make sure all the plug wires are connected to the proper locations. I have fire, and fuel. I have made sure my mass air flow meter is hooked up. I have reset the cas several times. I have fuel to my primary injectors. You can smell the fuel, it cranks but won't start. Can ANYONE solve my mystery? Thanks in advance.

if you haven't already got it started in the last 11 days, then you can make sure it's not flooded since you said you're smelling fuel. if so, go ahead and deflood it.



that said, double check the timing. putting some Seafoam directly in the chambers has worked for me on the last couple motors i built in terms of getting them to fire for the first time.

I know it has just been rebuilt, but it never hurts to check compression. Maybe something let go?

If lots of used parts, you might have to push start it
