make sure your fuel gauge is not faulty and you actually run out of petrol, check you have ignition,check plugs maybe they have died

[kev-yorks]

Baz when you said just died can you elaborate? Just cut out period, started running rough then cut out etc etc. Also did you notice what the boost gauge was doing.......stable reading or bouncing up and down if it would still run?

cheers guys what exactly happened was it ran rough the cut out so i assumed i had ran out or fuel i went to the petrol station got fuel and put it in it ran for about 30 secs the cut out now i have no spark no fuel and no working rx7 i have tried the egi relay but no joy

[michaelb]

do you have any electric of the baterry?  sounds silly but check that, maybe one of the points got losse...it happened to me -  all was dead

Regards,
Michaelb

yes mate battery has power engine cranks over but just will not start ive even tried jump leads from another car

[BlitzBoy]

so where was the fuel gauge when it cut out?
You may have flooded it after u put fuel in, do a search on here for the deflood procedure

[bazil]

quarter but that does not explain no spark??

[chopper2k22]

Hey Bas still no luck then :3Confused

Right iv been to have a look and tried serval parts but cant figure out what is happening. Theres plenty of fuel in the tank having had the fuel pump out to check, both fuel and the pump works.
The engine is not flood, i changed the plugs for some of my old ones and you turn it over and there still dry once weve cranked the car, the fuel pump relay is fine and so is the egi fuse, the pump does not prime and there is no spark at all from any of the igniton coils, the only thing i havnt tried is the fuel pump speed relay but would this affect both fuel pump and igniton???

[BlitzBoy]

I believe it wil affect but I maybe wrong
defo sounds like a loose earth somewhere or a fuse has blown, check fuses!

[Brett]

As Blitz has said, check the fuses, check the earths - IIRC there is one farily near the ECU as well on an FD?
 
Does the car have an immobiliser?

[Jit]

do you know if youre getting reference from the crank angle sensors? Does the rev needle bounce (only tiny minute bounces but you got to be looking closely to see em) when youre cranking? Failing that you might want to get a pin out diagram and check at the ecu to see if its getting any signal.

[bazil]

no the rev needled does not move at all while cranking and yes the ecu is getting signal

[lee mills]

what ecu do you have. if its an apexi i had the same problem. I put a new apexi in and hey presto everything was fine

[bazil]

standard ecu mate ive changed it with another one and still the same problem
