Took a trip to a strip what was about 25 miles highway, car ran good all the way there, whwn i got into traffic it seemed to lose power, i stoped and it was hard to keep idle and then i floored it and it died, didnt start leaking gas on driver side, i changed plugs added gas..nothing still, tried started fluid in the intake..nothing, anyone have any ideas, also how loud will tyhe fuel pump be

Could be a lot of things..

Fouled plugs?
Unplugged TPS?
Stuck injector?
Clogged fuel filter?
Blown engine?

compression test that peice, mine did something simliar and it was dead. good luck man, always sucks to hear about things like that

Stepdaddy

yeah, say i have a bad compression test in one side, can i replace just that rotor and housing or do i have to get a hole new block and what not, im really drawing a blank on the hole car not starting and it makes me justr ask questions and wonder things, its a real pain in my sac thanx for the replies

Roy James

well, i am just droping in another block, you can rebuild just that one side, but while you have it apart you should go ahead and rebuild the other too. and for christ sakes its freaking WHOLE.. witha double-u in the damn front,

Stepdaddy

sorry rx7club needs to give me a spell checker, im a horrid speller sorry, anywho if i have to rebuild the engine i might as well do it myself so i can get the exsperience, i have 2 12a's in the drive that could use a rebuilding too might as well port the hell out of them why im at it, anyways ill keep you posted i think the way im ganna go about the fix is...
Fuel pump 300hp+
fuel line & new fuel filter
AF metter

(compression test will be taken next week when i get my next pay check, 24 bucks for a tester)

if i do all this and its still craped im ganna save up for a j-spec since i havent had good luck with used 7's

if you think this isnt right at all stop me

Stepdaddy

NEVERMIND- in another post people said before all that try unflooding and pulling the fuses, sounds likea good start for me

Roy James

its cool man, i myself and a terrible speller. I think some auto parts stores should let you use a compression tester man. Hell, they rent almost everythign else out. Good luck man, my engine is about ready to be pulled right now, just have to get a damn engine hoist.

Stepdaddy

are cherry pickers alot of money, i know my friend has one in his house, id just borrow it

Stepdaddy

wait i was just thinking, it wouldnt have died b/c of flooding, i have a feeling that the power loss and the die is more than a flooding problem, i hope not but it sounds a lil to easy

You said that it started leaking gas from the driver side?!

Along with thew fact that it died?

You have a fuel leak on the high pressure side.

Check your line as it comes from under the car to the filter, then to the line that enters the hard fuel line pair, right in front of the oil filler neck.

Low fuel pressure will cause exactly what your seeing.

a busted engine will act like this too, but wont leak gas unless you bust a line.

Check that fuel delivery!

check your PD man!, and be careful of fire!

Stepdaddy

PD?

scathcart

pulsation dampener

Felix Wankel

Pulsation dampener would leak from the passenger side though.

Stepdaddy

okay here is what im ganna do, i cannot find the fuel line under the car, i have the back pannel(oposite from gas tank filler dealy) it has 2 lines, i was just going to replace the lines and see if that works, if that dosnt take care of the problem im not sure, i cannot hear the fuel pump though would it be smart to runa inline fuel pump?
