hey, my name is mike.I love my rx-7 to death buy im having quite a bit of trouble with it and i need some help. i bought a 86 gxl with a bad motor. took it out ( as you can tell by the picture)and threw in a "new" used motor with a claimed 60k and took off all emissons. i was having a fuel issue with the front rotor not getting enough gas and the rear getting too much. so i swapped out injectors and now im getting gas to both rotors but it wont start. im getting spark but nothing. http://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/wallbash.gif ive tried to deflood it by pulling plugs and fuse and flooring it while i crank untill there is no more gas coming out. but then when i crank it again. no start. plugs are wet. compression sounds great. i have no idea what to do. any help would be really nice. |
I suppose you might try new plugs. Other than that, maybe battery is tired. How's the cranking speed? Gas is reasonably fresh?
|
Did you check compression on the new motor?
|
gas is new. just put some more in the other day with some premix. idk how fast cranking speed is. i have no other rx7 starter to compare it too. compression sounded great. has all chugs and all pluses are very strong. i do not have a compression tester thou. i should be getting new plugs on tuesday and the battery was fully charged
|
Have you tried hooking any of the emissions stuff back up at least to the computer to see if that might be your problem?

Check compression (with a compression tester), replace plugs, and don't floor it when starting (that's a function that works in the S5 cars, not the S4). |
do you know your coils are good?
|
the plugs spark. they ark to the manifold when i test them
|
any ideas?
|
good ideas were given- did you check compression?
how old is the battery? Batteries can do funny things, even if they are charged they may not start a car, I have had bad cells cause a new battery not to start the car, but its probably something that is not hooked up properly- triple check everything and dont overlook the basics like firing order and other simple things. |
