  1. I suspesct my ringlands have gone after reading on the forums but would appreciate some opinions. Car was smoking like mad but only on idle, i blocked the pcv and it stopped snoking after 10 mins or so. The turbo isnt leaking ive had that off and checked it. Compression test results were Dry - 140 170 150 150 Wet - 170 170 180 170 I took the oil cap off with the engine running and its blowing through that like mad, I can feel it pulsing, my breather next to the oil filler is also drowning in oil. Appreciate any input. Thanks!
  2. Year: 1981 Model: RX7 SA22C Tax: No MOT: No Mileage: 113k (I think, Will confirm later) Description: First gen RX7, Have to sell to fund Glanza repairs. Car is a rolling project and will need some work to get back on the road. Bought it in December 2015, got the engine running that night using a Lucozade bottle full of petrol, It ran nice but wouldn't idle, Probably due to being gravity fed from the bottle. Everything underneath the car has been removed, Sandblasted and repainted, The floor was wire wheeled and resealed with Hammerite. All lower arms and the rear axle were painted in Hammeri
  3. Could say you believe they have hit your car...
  4. I will have a good look at the TPS and its wiring then, Thanks for that! The thing with my coolant sensor is the wiring for it has been shit since i bought the car but the cutting out has only been happening for the past few months. Leading me to believe the temp sensor isnt the issue or it would have been cutting out since I bought it? I also can't make the car cut out. It's totally random, I have no idea when it's going to do it, I can just start the car up in a morning and it will die at the bottom of the road, Or i can go out all night on a spirited drive and come back without any issues
  5. Wouldn't it just not work at all if my ECU earth was shit? I'll check the one for the injectors, Thanks for that. The wiring for my coolant sensors are a joke, the green one just has 1 single wire from it and that is cut and the other one with the spade on it (Think it's for the gauge on the dash?) Doesn't really work. Saying that they were like that before the car started cutting out. And by TPS do you mean the Throttle Position Sensor? My car doesn't have a TPS it's just a cable. Or have I missed something there? Thanks! Edit: Car got me to work this morning without a problem. and got
  6. Sometimes if i unplug the connector on the ignition module it will work again, sometimes not, seems like a loose wire but im not sure as like i say, it can be fine for weeks and weeks then just randomly cut out and not start one day. When the car works, it works fine. doesn't missfire, boosts fine and doesn't creep. I'll check the 2 wires to the coilpack
  7. Ok so I've been having this problem for months. My Glanza will cut out whenever it likes and sometimes it will start right back up, sometimes it refuses and i have to get recovered. It seems to do it when im sat in traffic or when I'm slowing down and press the clutch and the revs drop. It has done this for months now. when it first did it i replaced the thermostat as that was dead and then it was fine for a few weeks. thought that was the end of it, nope. Did it again. So now I've replaced the plugs. HT leads, King lead, Coil, ignition module. I've re drilled the holes in the firewall on the
  8. Is it actually getting fuel into the cylinders though?
  9. Very strict on Class A. So no getting sniffed out of your face hahaha
  10. If you have no luck with those options, Try checking the earths on the coil to the firewall, I've had a few issues with that myself. Car randomly cutting out and not starting again. Might be worth a look!
