Engine Mechanical problem
1988 Mazda RX7 Two Wheel Drive Manual 118,00 miles

I am looking at an rx7 that (I am told) runs fine till it warms up. Then it lacks power and just doesn't run well. Could this be some expensive, mysterious rotary engine problem, or is it more likely something more typical on an external engine system?

thanks,

Jerry

Hi there,

I would be getting a mechanic with very good rotary experience to have a look at this engine before you purchase, If this is still the original engine the rotor seals may be getting a bit tired by now.
