D'oh! I was pulling for you, mate. I thought it was going to fire up at the end. Good luck, man. I hope you get it sorted soon.👊

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

I thought so too... oh well! I think I've got it now :)

[@panikosrxristodoulouxristo1733]

Hi,check the wastegate control and turbo precontrol solenoids set main wire lead to the ECU. Good luck mate👍 RX7 looking better💪👊👌

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

Hey brother, isn't that only for a car with the twin turbos? I don't have those solenoids anymore.. hope you're well and your FD is good too

[@Monstacheeks]

I’m having the exact same problem with my SSM FD lol. I think im going to replace all the Coil packs next with my stimulus money... I got Compression, Fuel, Air, new spark plugs and wires but havent test coil pack yet. I always hear the leading coil is the part that wears out first.

[@AHMEDMOOSAJI]

Well durbs has the most amount if info and out of India so fireworks must have been going of one way Seems like birds were also making noise in the intro and outro I don't think the silver fd was too happy that you got rid of its twins Hope you come right Nice to have a spare rx7 to cross check

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

Yeah, should have kept those damn twins haha

[@ShaunGarvey-qe7dr]

Did you figure out the issue after I’m having similar issue with my fd I replaced all the coils and plugs gonna check my igniter tomorrow

[@Sedona_FD3S]

Hey brotha I was wondering if you still own the RX-7. I’m so close to reviving mine after 7 years of storage. I got it to start tonight and it idled fine, I did not rev it for I was afraid to. I turned it off and now it won’t start up again. Starter is strong and Fresh battery.

[@edayala9171]

Do you have good spark tho? Fuel pressure ? Compression good?

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

Compression is good last time i checked, fuel pressure is good.. found some issues with spark this week.. if all goes well it should be running this week

[@edayala9171]

@@The_JDM_Dynasty id love to see a vid on what you found or how u found it ! I got a rhd silver si gle turbo fd I know you pain brother

[@Psaros69]

I like your way to search for solution 😀 So finally what was the ignition problem, coils, wires, injectors? I have the same issue..

[@BaronRosenhein]

That sounded a lot like my FD. Did you figure out what was the problem? Bad VR sensor(s), igniter or harness?

[@rptucker3871]

Did you test the igniter? Should have been the first thing to test. Also not sure your year but there is an updated harness which my 95 came with so if your car is older that could be a problem. My igniter was bad is why I'm asking.

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

Swapped the ignitor from black FD

[@jonkat323]

Doggos are so happy inside

[@12TWENTYFOUR]

Hks twin spark will help boost the spark

[@ryanburgos-jimenez7344]

I’m dealing with same issue did you figure it out?

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

Ooops, I totally forgot to reply to this.. Rerun additional grounds... also what ECU do you have?

[@ryanburgos-jimenez7344]

NelKel JDM i have a PFC my coils are burning seems like there not grounding

[@3sfd]

maybe,,,,, fuel ponp or fuel filter
