you all are not going to like this.....
 

Well i got my crx up and running so i take it to the gas station to get gas and i decided to take it out on some roads for testing. well so im out on the roads testing it out spins first, spins most of second takes off in third and clutch slips in fourth. its cool thats what i expected. anyways a friend of mine shows up to my house as im getting back and i take him for a ride in it. well about 10 minutes into the ride i ---- something up. it was pressurizing the coolant system and blowing oil and vapors out of the valve cover breather. it was still running so i drove it home by the time i get home it is pouring smoke out of the exhaust and all that good ---- then it finally just stopped running. anyways i was pretty sure i fucked a ringland up (due to 12psi untuned) because it would not start out of frustration i traded it for a near mint 86 rx7 n/a only problem is is it does not run. it is not getting spark to the coils (trailing or leading arent getting spark) now i find it hard to believe both are bad at the same time. does any one know what maybe i should check.

CLIFFN NOTES:
TURBO CRX
12PSI ON BASEMAP WITH STOCK INTERNALS= ---- GETS FUCKED UP
PISSED OFF AND TIRED OF WORKING ON THE CAR I TRADE IT FOR NON RUNNING RX-7
RX-7 HAS NO POWER TO THE COILS
NEED HELP DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

hg blown, or head was warped? shouldve taken that basemap, added fuel, and retarded the timing all over the boost range.

then got the ------- thing tuned

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

it was running pretty strong and it was not detonating from what i could hear but all the sudden it was smoking then it stopped running all together and i heard some metallic sounds coming from it just before it went out

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

detonation comes in many levels, most you won't hear. :1 :1 :1

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

your ring lands are as strong as richard simons

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

drop a v8 in it. that will fix the problem.

check all fuses and all grounds. how did you check the power to the coils?

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

well there is not power coming out of the coils i did not check going in becuase my multimeter got wet and is broke. but i did the screw driver in the coil trick and there was no arc from the leading coils. i also dont know where the ecu for this car is. im completely new to the rotary engine, but im going to get a new dmm and hope flly find the problem. this car only has 85,000 and was garage kept. its almost show room condition. so i really want to start driving it. i was thinking of a turbo2 swap with my tax return but i gotta see how much i get back

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

do you want a haynes manual for it? i have one you could have. just pay shipping...
the ecu is gonna be in the same spot as your crx was 10mm nuts holding it down just like the crx too.

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

yeah ill takie the haynes manual how much shipped to 75503. i have not got a chance to look at all the details of it becuase today it was all raining and ----

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

I had the same problem with my rx7. Had a bad igniter. Get a shop manual and diag it right.

Sorry man but Pistons>rotary. ---- spinning triangles. :P

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

if its an 86 through 88, i can pretty much bet you its the airflow meter.

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

no clue how much shipped, but it's cheaper than buying one at vatozone :8
i'll check out the cost tomorrow

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

sorry man, my ------- wife threw it away the other day.
we are in the process of cleaning out the garage, just throwing everythign away. for some reason she felt the need to throw away 3 haynes manuals

Re: you all are not going to like this.....

i can betcha i know whats wrong.

Re: you all are not going to like this.....

---- looks pretty clean.
good deal imo

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

yeah its all stock and original (except for custom exhaust which i was told was apexi but i did not look) with 85,000 miles. the only thing worng with the interior is the center console trim that holds the radio is broken. its got a few dings in it but im pretty happy with it

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

Duh thats why I suggested he get a shop manual to figure it out, since he can actually see the car and not guess about the problem based on what somebody on the internet told him. ::)

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
 

I'm with Mustard Hating Mike, drop a V8 in there.

Re: you all are not going to like this.....

Re: you all are not going to like this.....
