"Fooding" happened to me just the other day in a big way. It acted as if someone had pulled the plugs as a prank it was spinning over so fast with the starter. I never bothered to open the hood.

My 85 RX-7 GS was crunched in an accident last Friday. To make a long story short, I T-boned someone that tried to cut across the traffic lanes (they received a citation for careless driving). Bummer. The entire front end of my car is mashed with the fenders rubbing on both front tires. ... (Read More)

It also idles rogh and always has, but the dealer doesn't seem to think ... (Read More)
