Re: Where is the starter located on a 1989 Mazda RX7?
Jack up the drivers side of the car, crawl under and look where the transmission bolts to the engine. you cant miss it :) it will have a big wire coming off of it ( power wire)

It would be a fuse or wiring issue not starter if there is no power to the ignition switch.
Ignition switches were not high failure items. The 86/91 RX7 had electrical issues. Check fuses, grounds, battery cable ends(for corrosion in wire at connecter, swollen looking wire) look up all the TSB's for the car. If you like working on the car yourself, get alldatadiy well worth it. And go to foxed.ca to download the FSM. (mazda factory shop manual)
I am assuming it's a standard. Your clutch and pressure plate are slipping. Check to see if the clutch can be adjusted , if not they have to be replaced
its not hard at all. as long as your good with your hands. and know the basics of your rx7. other then that everything bolts in. you just need a turbo driveshaft for sure. or they sell a custom driveshaft on mazdatrix.com so you can keep your N/A differential.
Check the battery,have a load test done on the battery,and check the connections at the battery and the battery post,make sure they are shiny clean,then of course check the alternator,to make sure it is charging enough,13.65 volts to 14.25 volts,any less replace the alternator,If all this checks out good,replace the starter.
