Default Front rotor dies after 5 seconds of running why???
I have the 93 rx7 tenor turbo engine in my b2200 and it was running fine the other day and now when I crank it about 5 seconds of running the front rotor cuts out and stops running and then the back rotor starts to act like its starving for fuel and then shuts off. Any ideas???

Kind of sounds like a fuel issue to me too, bad fuel pump or filter maybe?

Yes it was the fuel pump thank god I was beginning to think the front rotor lost compression. Thanks for the input.

Temporary idle. Idles for 40-60 seconds and dies.
