will do how do u check for the air pump?

Ok, to find the air pump...

stand in front of the car.

now look at the belts and what they turn.

the most left pulley, just above the turbos, is the air pump. It doesnt always turn, though. The ECU switches it on and off at different times.

give the engine a rev, and it should switch on at about 3000 rpm I think.


When do you smell this fuel?  Is it after you\'ve blatted it for a bit?

From what we have found out so far, I suspect:

The idling and the smell of fuel might not be related because:

If you have a modified engine, and the ports have been modified, then this might be the cause of lumpy idle.

The smell of fuel could be a leaking injector. There are little O - rings that seal the injector, and these are easily damaged or left out altogether when working on the fuel system ( ask me how I know - *grin* ). If this was the problem, you would smell fuel when youve given it a bit of throttle.

Just keep telling us whats going on and we will try and help you.

yes it is frustrating when garages have resistance to the RX-7, and I think its based on the poor reputation of the NSU. My local Kwik-twits refused to just hang my exhaust back on its rubbers !! How simple a job is THAT?
