Hey guys

Im just going out on abit of a limb but i really need a hand.

I am trying to sort out why my car has no spark, im very close to taking to speedworks to get him to fix it but i don't want to spend the cash and i think it wont be to hard to figure out,

if anyone has got any ideas or wants to come around and have a look and try help me figure it out it would be great.

Will reward the person who figures out why it wont start LOL

thanks guys

what kind of car/engine?

by **Lith** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:02 pm

Have you confirmed its definitely not spark, or are you just assuming that because its not firing at all? Those things are renowned for flooding, its not uncommon to set up a fuel pump switch to allow the engine to be cranked a few times without fuel prior to starting to allow it to clear itself out.

I had a quick look for the easiest way to check/fix this issue if you don't have said switch set up:

If you haven't thought of it, might be worth trying...

Even if they do flood, leaving them sitting for an hour or so is usually enough to let them clear up enough to fire up. Mine would do it without fail every morning that I was running late for something :lol:

yea thats true, they have bad flooding issues, but its not that, and it only floods after it starts because the fuel in the lines runs out onto the spark plugs, but i have taking all the plugs out, and tested them all, they dont work, very gutting. txt me if u want lith if u wana sort out to come and have a look,

and to answer above question car is 1988 series 4 rx7

by **slighty_looney** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 6:43 pm

no power to fuelpump and no spark,
thnkin it could be crank angle sensor, but unsure,

thats a good question, lol, no theres no kill switch or anything of the like. i got a awsum auto sparky thats helping me out now, (hargin, cheers bro) my guess is the ecu, but thats just a guess, will find out tuesday night!

Did you get this sorted?

If there's no power at the fuel pump i'd check the fuel relay and ECU.. Taken the car out in the rain? FC's had issues with leaks. If the ECU has water damage you could be getting this..

SIKBUZ, you've been quiet - do you still have your RX?

by **1I1** » Mon May 25, 2009 2:34 pm

Sure do bud, she's for sale but I'm really not that keen to sell her, so I'm not trying to hard. When I get the right offer it'll be time

by **slighty_looney** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 6:48 pm

by **SIKBUZ** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 12:22 pm

Sorry, when I got rid of the FC everything went with or got sold.. But what are you looking for? Got mates who might have access to something you need?
