Difficult starting and Autozone parts
When starting my '88 rx-7, I must push on the gas pedal at precisely the right time (about 1 second after turning the key) in order to get it to run. Otherwise, the engine will fire a little bit, but not enough to keep it from stalling immediately. Then I have to remove the EGI fuse and crank the engine before I try again. I don't have much automotive experience, so I would appreciate any suggestions on how to correct the problem.
Also, I am going to need a new starter. I think Autozone has them for about $100, but I have heard their parts are crap. Any experience with their starters?

First thing I would check would be bad/incorrect sparkplugs/wires or a sensor not working.
You should not have to give it any gas unless the temp is under 30F.
I am sure the rebuilt starter would be fine, but what is the warrenty?

I put in new, correct spark plugs after I realized all four previous plugs were leading (lower) plugs, but this didn't seem to make much difference, and I don't think temperature affects it either. I'll have to check sensors. Thanks.
