Ok, but I am afraid I am away for the next 5 weeks, Aus and South Africa.

So, its on hold until I get back.

I am pretty sure it will be a remarkable difference. Plus, I wanted to do the track day on 17 May, but I am loathe to put her on the track, knowing she\'s not "right".  I am pretty determined to fix it!:)

mmmm? You got me thinking now leaving a rx7 for a long time without starting I have heard that we can get carbon lock. As a means to prevent this would it be an idea say going away for 2 month or so to remove the spark plugs and pour some oil into the chambers, put the spark plugs back and then leave it. Presuming that there is no where for the oil to go would this then prevent the dread carbon lock issue ??

Hi Brian,

Carbon Lock generally isn\'t created by a car sitting around, it is more that if the car has been running for short periods of time, and only idling.

An example is, that my brother leaves his Cosmo and Rotary Wagon (in Oz) around for months without running them at all - and they are still ok.

It would be more if you run it for a few mins. then turn it off a number of times.
Thanks,

Cheers Glen,
I must stop doing that then.
