SOURCE: rx7 Mazda 1989 non turbo

I tried a Solution used from a previous posting... The automatic transmission fluid, (ATF), trick.
After doing everything in the mainianace manual, without a positive outcome... I tried it..
3 capfulls in each trailing spark plug hole... but it must be after or just after the apex went past the hole...
remember turn the shaft manually until the apex passes.  Also remember their are six apex seals, 3 on the front rotor and 3 on the back, thats 18 cap fulls total.  Don't worry if some drips or pours out after putting it in the spark plug hole.  I did it with a med seringin.  but be careful the end could break off in the plug hole.(don't ask) Just make sure you do all six just after each apex.  Then take both leading plugs off and spray them with starter fluid and put them back just after you spray them.  This, I was told, was to make sure the car fires on the first start.  IT works.....
This is also a trick after having starting problems when the car floods.......
That why I waited so long to try it,  I did need it for flooding.....
This swells up the seal... they got dried out from sitting at least four years... ATF soaks into them and
helps the compression...

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.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting fixya.com.

The best solution to this problem is to give your vehicle a little time. Prop up your hood and wait for a few minutes before you attempt to start your car again. This time, be careful of how much fuel you're sending to your engine system. In short, don't depress the pedal too much or too often.If this doesn't work, then you may need to actually open your vehicle's carburetor and you will need to use some WD-40 or ether-based spray to dry up the excess fuel before you can start your vehicle again. WD-40 and ether sprays are highly flammable, so use them with caution. And please don't leave your vehicle running and don't smoke while you use these flammable products. If while doing this you find out that your carburetor is no longer in good working condition, then do replace your carburetor with a high quality replacement part.

I have a 1988 Mazda Rx-7 non-turbo and not all the time but every now and then when i go to start it it cranks but wont start. Is the engine flooding or is it something else?

I always start my '88 RX7 with a 2 start procedure. First start is short about 3 engine revs...second time it always starts.
If I don't do that it cranks & cranks.....try it.

1987 RX7 Turbo cranks but does not starts. Was not getting fuel to system so, I jumped pump and works ok but, still not starting. Power in coils, ignition and pump OK. ?????? Need the car ASAP! Any HELP...

I use to run my own switch for the fuel pump. Leave the power off to the pump for about 10 mins. Then power it up then start engine. If this doesn't work use a little starting fluid. If that doesn't start the engine check to make sure you are getting spark to the plug. If you are check the compression.
