Problems:
Rotary engine wear
The 1989 Mazda RX-7 features a rotary engine, which is prone to faster wear and tear compared to conventional piston engines. This can lead to a loss of compression and reduced performance.
Apex seal failure
The apex seals in the rotary engine are critical components that can wear out or fail, leading to loss of compression, misfires, and significant engine damage.
Oil consumption
Rotary engines often consume more oil than piston engines. This can lead to frequent oil changes and the need to closely monitor oil levels.
Cooling issues
The rotary engine can generate a lot of heat, which can lead to cooling system problems such as overheating, coolant leaks, and potential engine damage if not properly managed.
Carbon buildup
Rotary engines are susceptible to carbon buildup, which can affect engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions.
Vacuum leaks
The intricate vacuum system in the RX-7 can develop leaks, leading to rough idling, poor acceleration, and other performance issues.
Ignition system problems
The RX-7's ignition system, including spark plugs and ignition coils, can experience wear and failure, affecting engine performance and starting reliability.
Fuel system issues
Problems with the fuel injectors, fuel pump, or fuel lines can lead to poor engine performance, starting issues, and potential engine damage.
