it was running bad after 15 mins when it was running, ive just taken the car out to put fuel in it and seems to be running fine but on the weekend im gona service it.
Sorry could not of been of help, sounds like the engine is ok though
engine sounds fine fella as jay has said. sounds more like a minor issue elsewhere such as the map sensor or the vac pipe leading to it.

yea ill look at it properly tomorow in the day light thanks...
just a quick question, which engine oil shall i get eg: 5w-30 10w-40 fully synth - part synth (BRAND eg:dexilia) and which gear box oil aswell and would ngk plugs do?
only buy mineral oil, 10-40 is fine, something like castrol GTX would be ok, gearbox oil im not sure as im looking around for that myself

how much you use 5L worth
all depends if you drain the oil coolers dude as well. Usually find its between 5.5 and 6 litres if coolers are drained but i usually get away with a 5 litre bottle of GTX if doing a normal change

well just got of the phone to my mechanic and he says he had a problem with a previous rx7 with the throttle positioning sensor, he said every now and then it was causing the car to under rev and back fire so he changed the tps and it turned out ok but my service will be done on saturday and ill look for a sensor some time next week...
sounds like that could be it...easy fix? wherebouts in london are ya by the way? i spend some time near romford (hornchurch way)....i need 2 get mine back on the road

is it heat related,like only does it when fans are on?
Quote from: JayDee;597888is it heat related,like only does it when fans are on?
well it could be but its happening like after 20 mins when i turn the car on and especially when im in traffic but the car never heats up past the half way line but after it clears up the car if fine with no problems thats whet i cant figure out but ill have to try again today.
just waiting for some 8mm magnecor leads so i can do my service, ive also noticed that the leads on the car at the moment are the 10 mm magnecor leads and some one told me i should not use those leads.
anyway i started my car up today and left it idleing for around 10 mins outside my house and it happend again, i warmed the car up then moved it about 10 meters then the revs went as low as about 500rpm and started mis fireing so it looks and sounds like ignition to me but as jay said does it happen when the fans turn on and the answer is no cause i never let it get that hot at the time so at least that 1 is out of the way.
