i was wondering how much marvel mystery oil you use when trying to start the car and i was also woondering if someone could tell me step by step what to do....i know you need to pull you fuel pump fuse or somethign but what else? please help.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

Uh, what exactly are you trying to do (besides start it)?



Has the car been sitting for a while or something? Is it flooded? Need a little more background before someone will tell you to dump half a quart in, pull the EGI fuse, and grab your nuts. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



Seriously, though, give us a little more to work with and it shouldn't be too hard.

sorry......its just been sitting for a while i took it off the road for the winter.....when i went to go start it the car would crank over but wouldn't start...all the spark plugs are getting spark too

Oh, okay. Deflooding is easy enough. Just pull the EGI fuse, crank it over for about a bit (15-30 seconds), replace the fuse, and start 'er up.



Hopefully it's as simple as that for ya. Report back either way https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

a capful in each rotor housing does the trick.



next time, put mmo in the engine when you park it and go out there every now and then to turn her over a few times (redistribute the mmo around the rotor housing and move the seals around a bit).

rx7ahh 02-11-2004 09:32 PM

does it matter if its cold out wihen i do the mmo treatment?

Redwood 02-12-2004 12:04 PM

nah

rx7ahh 02-12-2004 01:57 PM

well i just did the treatment so im gonna let it sit until tommorow then see what happens......i changed the old gas in the car too so hopefully it will work

rx7ahh 02-13-2004 09:41 AM

well i did the treatment put a cap full of mmo in each housing and i let it sit over night....i pulled the egi fuse and turned it over a couple times to get the mmo spread around...then waited until the next day and nothign happend the car still wont start.......all i know is the car was runnning perfect before i put it away for the winter...when i go to start it, it turns over and i know im gettign spark i tested all of the spark plugs......do i need to change the plugs that are in the engine when i did the mmo before i even try starting it the next day?please help me..what else would it be? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Try again, sometimes you need to do it a couple of times. Pull the EGI, turn motor with throttle *fully depressed* in three 10 second tries (so you dont overheat the starter). Make sure the battery is fully charged before you try to start again, if it doesnt start like usual, dont keep trying. You may need to remove the plugs and unflood that way.

pengaru 02-13-2004 01:15 PM

when you crank it with the plugs pulled out, are you getting alot of fuel/mist blown out of the holes indicating fuel flooding?

rx7ahh 02-13-2004 05:07 PM

not to much if i put the egi fuse back in i would......i put a little more mmo in and turned it over with the fuse pulled and spark plugs out so im going to see what happens tommorow when i try to start it

rx7ahh 02-13-2004 05:08 PM

when i took the plugs out the first time the top ones were still wet but the bottom ones werent....im pretty sure all plugs are getting spark though.....i just forgot to add this in to my last post i still need to see what happens tommorow

BY FAR, the easiest way to get an rx7 started:



requires: 1 chain, 1 friend, 1 other vehicle.

a chain can be substitued for a piece of carpet or something if chain isn't available. (push instead of pull)





Attach other vehicle to the rx7 and go! a clean paved surface with no traffic is ideal for this..



it WILL start with spark + fuel + compression, PERIOD.



Put the car in 2nd gear and hold the clutch pedal to the floor, release it when you get going about 10MPH. Be careful not to hit the other vehicle.



holding the engine at WOT seems to help, I don't know why.
