Title: Not starting think ive flooded it
Post by: riz325 on January 28, 2009, 01:11:18 PM
Hi all
 
Iam a newbie had subarus in the past but my brother said to me buy an rx7
 
so i am a proud owner of one
 
got a little issue i ve never worked on these cars is their a manual that anybody can recommend to me please also iam having a issue with it.
 
it is that the guy had it parked up and said that it had no fuel in it which was true as the needle didnt even move a bit when i put ignition on (Tight A**E) said it had been parked up since he had lost his job i ve seen the car running prior to buying it now when i put some fuel in the car the needle is sitting at quarter until i can get is started and top it up i think i may have flooded the system as i was trying to start it would turn but wouldnt start
 
just would like to know where the spark plugs are on it and if their is a way of bleeding the fuel system
 
cheers

mine doesnt move on start - it reads fuel level even with engine off.

As far as plugs go - theres two ways -

1) from the top, take off the inlet manifold then reach down (pain in the arse)

2) jack up car, reach up and follow the HT leads to the plugs - easier

i had a look at a guid for changing the clutch it seems pretty easy and simple tbh, if you have ever done something rwd before, its pretty straight forward, remove prop, disconnect wires on the box, undo box mount, undo bolts around bell housing and the hardest bit seems removing the release bearing from the clutch which u need to release before you pull the box off!

if you search these forums there are guides on here mate :)
