Looking at an 87 RX-7 to buy for my son. The owner says it doesn't start when the temperature drops to 40 degrees or below, but does start and runs fine when temps are higher. Anyone have an answer as to what the problem might be?

We are considering this for a project car, so we don't mind making some repairs. We just want to have a good idea of what is involved.

Thanks for your help.

just plug it, and use lighter oil

have the compression tested

just plug it (plug what) ? use lighter oil ? have compresion tested ?

why don't you find a little more out about the situation ?

geeze D3rELiC, i thought you knew your shit ... if you really knew a damn thing about a rotary you'd have a more creative answer than that.


you criticize and humiliate me in a thread, i'll do it to you.

im just letting em search a little, they'll became fat kids

plug the block heater, use 5w30 and bring the car to a mazda dealership for a 115$ compression test if that doesnt make stuff work better.

happy now ?

yeah sure... lol hey not trying to make enemies now, just one to jump to the defense easily.
