to be more specific, the ignitor is basically a hall effect sensor that detects a change in magnetic field. when the stator (or is that reluctor? anyway, the vane thingies on the distributor shaft under the rotor) of the distributor passes the trigger point the ignitor send a signal to the ignition to spark. and voila you have fire. there are two ignitors, one for leading, one for trailing.

that's basically it in a nutshell.

Monty,

I got your message. I have an ignitor, and I can also test the old one to see if it is good or not. I keep a spare in the console of my car just in case. I have (knock on wood) never had one fail in my cars, but we had a bad one in my daughters car when we got it.

 

I have a couple J109's if you need them Calvin. With the TII motor I won't be needing them anymore.

 

Merry Christmas!!!

VA, did you like the gifts? More important, did your wife like the 1st Xmas ornament? My wife made both of them.

 

Merry Christmas everyone.


Now off to church.......

 

merry x mas all !!

Thanks a ton , I owe you

Merry Christmas to Everyone

 

Great!!! I'm glad you two like them and the three of you are doing well. I guess it really was a Merry Christmas!!!


For those out of the loop. My wife made a "Baby's 1st Christmas' ornament for Kenny, Kim and Kevin. She also made an ornament with an engine rotor on it!!! I plan on making more next year to give out!

 

hey guys itas been a while since i had a working internet so i havent been able to post or come to any meetings. if work schedule does not conflict, i will definantly see you guys in january. until then, i was wondering what was the most worthwhile mods everybody made to their cars. as of right now i have an 87 sport with these changes:
super streetport exhaust
mild ported intake
mso2 coated tII rotor housings
lightweight, high compression rotors

i was looking into koni yellows and ground control coilovers due to the massively sagging springs but also into buying a tII transmission because the car grinds into 2nd gear, even when double clutched. although there is also and occasional pulastion in idle, i figure i can do vacuum lines when i lean more about the car and where to put them, what size etc.
my future plans for the car are going to be in autox if that helps with suggestions.
any help would be greatly appreciated and merry christmas to everybody

 

As far as suspension goes, get Koni reds, and springs. Ground control seems to be pretty popular. You'll also want to get larger sway bars, and strut tower braces, both front and back. The single best upgrade you can do though is tires. Buy some sticky as crap tires.

 

Does anyone have Randy Martins number? I can't find it...

If so thanks in advance... just send me a pm.

Chris

 

PM Sent.

 

randy is out of town in Florida until New Years , if you still need the # , PM me and I'll send it to you just let me know

 

what are your plans as to the ball dropping??

anyone going to have a big party? to start the new year right!!!




monty

 

I think my roomates are holding a kegger. That should put the new year on the right foot.

 

I just kind of found this forum today about people in the Hampton Road's area with RX7's. Anyway im from va. beach and have a red '93 and am going to start tearing out the engine hopefully in the next 2 weeks. First time though and was looking for some advice.

 

Buy the video, or you can borrow one.

 

UPDATE!!!!!!!!

my boyfriend Monty has found the problem with my car, now im hoping this is the last thing i have to do to it..

 

Girly FB , you will soon learn , you will never make it to the last thing, hahahah remember this is a rotary , hahahaha. Even when you think everything is great , just give it another day or 2 .

Good luck

Va

 

I can vouch for that. What ended up being the problem?

 

igniter went bad....

i dont see how it had gone bad though???im going to install first thing in the morning ,the new one that calvin sold me and hope it will do the job.my next guess is the bad gas or rust in the tank or compresstion or the evil rotary gods !!!

 

i have faith in you, you will get my car running soon i just have to be patient, i like to have it running so me and him can bring it to the meets so yall can see my car for the ones thats didnt see it yet

Maddie
