Matt's RX7 #NeverGiveUp

[MattScott]

Good news on the mot pass Matt

Can't offer any advice on the Twin Spark though 

Thanks - it's the usual 7 pleasure and pain
Still, passing its test is by far the positive ! Now we just need that nice weather back

Well no much new news. Remounted the earth for the twin spark and checked everything was ok with the harness (buzzer test). Also took cover off but not much to see inside. All looked ok and took her out tonight before the football as the roads are nice and quite Result is that it's still messing with the idle and causing a mis-fire under boost. Tried with the unit unplugged to isolate/test just the harness, mis-fire is reduced (a little hestitent) and idle is still messed up. So gonna try a new harness and see if that solves the issue.........

Re-setting the TPS (throttle position sensor) may help

Thanks Clive, will give that a try as well.

So it's been a turbulent time for my cars in general which has meant no time, money or emphusiasm for the Seven . Don't want to dwell on issues with things non-rotary here but needless to say I needed a holiday at the end of it . So popped over to Ireland and watched the petrol wars heat up over here!  Now I'm back and feeling better towards my 4-wheeled friends so will be back to diagnosing my twin-power issues and collecting parts for my winter brake upgrade. Now I just need to find some Shell v-power so I can drive her before the weather goes bad !!

Pleased to hear you got your mojo back  Just unplug the twin power as you shouldn't need it anyway.

Sometimes I forget how low the 7 is compared with other cars. I wouldn't call our RCZ a "big" car but it dwarfs my 7 !

To get my Race licence back I was put into an RCZ (Diesel) around Brands, got to say I was impressed that it was a well ballenced car.
Like you say though its huge compared to the 7

To get mine i went around combe in a fiesta ST and only allowed to use 4th n 5th...suffice to say it was awful... Instuctor said use the power to let it run wide...which it didnt do so i steered it over to the line he wanted and he threatened to fail me.

Tucked up for a little winter hibernation, currently waiting for parts from USofA and a 'spring brake' overhaul

Just a tip, I roll my car onto pieces of carpet and touch wood all the time I've had it (17 years) the car has stayed rot free. Not sure if it helps but, it hasn't done it any harm
