This car has been great few problems except for electrical the seats ripped at the seams, but other than that it has been fine. The engine runs fine and is very easy to fix. The only true mechanical problem was occasionally the spark plugs would foul until I got the newer cross cut design for thirty bucks problem solved.
It's a fine reliable sports car the hatch has more capacity than a trunk and is great for hauling things around. Great pickup and the rotary engine runs smoothly and delivers effortless power.
My beautiful RED 1987 RX-7 has been nothing, but problems since I bought it used in 2001 with 50,000miles on it. First, my electrical went BLAH. I haven't been able to put my windows down since that summer. I was using the AC and my sunroof, then the sunroof went out this summer (2003). In the past 2 months I've had to get a new exhaust and now the thing won't even start when I turn the key. All the belts turn, but nothing from the engine (like its not getting compression or something). But then again, I'm a single chick living in the middle of the city and can't afford the time or space to work on it myself. Any suggestions are welcome.
Yes. I own a 187 Mazda rx-7 and I have the same problem (no compression). I ran a compression test on it and it shows zero. which in my case means the rotor was blown. I bought it used. I have tried the auto trans-fluid in the spark plug holes. no luck. mazda quoted me 3200 for the fix of the seals (yea right) i am trying to find another option. but your problem sounds the exact same as mine.
It not only could be that problem you know. If the engine does not start, it also could be that it is flooded.
The engine started fine, I am not stupid.
