Since picking her up, i thought id go and stick some petrol in ready for work tomorrow. Checked all fluids which where all fine. Drove all the way to Shell at speed limits and off boost

Filled her up with VPower.

On the way back, i thought id check the boost, didnt get anywhere near redline and there was a pop, hesitation and it ran extremely lumpy and had no power what so ever. Luckily i was on my street so crawled home. No buzzers or warnings

Ive taken 2 quick vids so you can give me an idea of whats happened...

Not happy since its my 2nd outing!!! Pretty gutted..


Videos uploading now...

You checked all the hoses etc? Might have gone on boost and popped a hose off etc which could have caused an air leak, also popping and banging is normal in an RX7, its the fuel exploding in the exhaust :rollin

Cant see it being a hose tbh.. Got to be more than that...

Ps... Gauges are :censored::censored::censored::censored: and wired up wrong.... Seller told me..

Are there any bubbles in the coolent tank?

GrimR33per

Do you mean champagne bubbles?

Have you looked under the bonnet?.......does sound like you\'ve blown a hose off as MITCH suggests. .....lumpy idle, no power and boost gauge will read vacuum to 0 but no positive pressure. Cant really plumb a boost gauge up wrong...?

Doesn\'t sound great mate sounds like a misfire though maybe just a plug or coil,pull the plugs and have a look of you don\'t find any loose hoses,

Could even just be a loose HT lead meaning that 1 of the rotors are running on just the trailing plug

GrimR33per

Just checked all pipes, shook them, jacked the front of the car looked underneath.. All HT leads are sat onto plugs..  Pulled off and refitted and tried again, ran the same..

Out of ideas..

Will pull plugs out if i can..

Sure its not the boost sensor in the passenger side bulk head just behind the throttle body ?

Pull the plugsate take the elbow off and you\'ll be fine,they\'re cheap enough to try,though when you\'ve got them out take the big yellow egi relay out and crank,listen for 6 even compressions while you there,but as Shaun says check the map vac hose on the bulk head,

Plugs and coils needs to be checked. I think your plugs are fouled! And this could be because of various reasons.

Hi Mate, Have you rang the garage where you bought the car from, and given them the opportunity to resolve the issues you have?
