I have an 87 RX7 TII,
I'm New to the rotary world, very enthusiastic about finding my car for 1500$ its got a lot of modifications which might make the process of getting things smooth a problem
at this point i have tried everything to the best of my ability to fix my cars idle. the car runs fine, it will take a couple turns of the key to engage the starter, and then the car turns over. the idle will fluctuate when the motor is cold but when it settles it will stay at a little under 1000 rpm, i can run it at that idle for 10-20 mins then it dies. when trying to turn the motor over it won't start for about 30-40 mins. I have rebuilt the throttle body, checked my vacuum lines, constructed a modified schrader valve on the fuel rail to check the fuel pressure but i havent gotten around to it. I need some oppinions from a reliable source on what the problem could be, I live in a small town that does not have any kind of rotary performance shop or diagnostic tools. I took it to a local shop, the owner had an rx7 two rotar in the past, he thinks its the ECU. Im not sure what to think of his oppinion so i wanted a second before i try to get my hands on a custom wiring harness and ECU. I dont have a lot of money to blow at this point and getting it running smooth is my main priority. any suggestions ?
Thanks Matt
