3rd generation RX-7's / Good to be back

Sorry to hear that I know how you feel I replaced the engine for the very same reason, might be worth sticking some K seal in for the time being.

Regards Danny

You can convert this



To this



definitely worth doing imo, you can also lose solenoids I & J if you fit a boost controller.

Had the same problem a couple of weeks back, all I did was clean up the contacts on the spade connector behind the filler neck/underneath the crossover pipe. Its probably something as simple as that or a damaged wire.

lol I know what your saying but the y pipe does come out with the rear pipe in place (unbolted) I had to use a 1/4 drive rachet with a flexi adaptor though

Had this problem last week, easier with the downpipe and y pipe removed and it should drop down, the fun really begins when it goes back on.

General Technical / engine got me a bit stumped!

Mine had a cross threaded plug a couple of years back, I took it to reworx where they used an old plug with groves cut into the thread and gently rethreaded the hole with the engine still in place, it didnt seem to affect the running of the engine though.

You need to bleed the coolant system properly have a look here http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53165&highlight=bleeding and dont rely on the coolant gauge as they are crap.

Does sound like the gas has leaked out you need to get an a/c engineer or garage to check the pressures before you can start to diagnose any problems, 95% of the time it\'ll be the gas thats leaked.

Cheers Danny

Check the sight glass under the bonnet in front of the battery, get someone to switch the a/c on with the engine running and you should see bubbles then if charged correctly it will go clear after a few minutes, if not its low on gas and if no bubbles at all then its probably empty and will need a pressure test and regas.
