did you pull any fuses before working on car?
did you unplug anything while working on car?
double check everything

Check your Maf.

It might be bad.

Unplug it and try starting it.

One of the joys with an FC and their wonderful wiring scheme.

Ask an RX7 forum?

If no spark, I'd check the related components. coil/coil pack/distributer (whatever it has) wiring (grounds, power wires, plug wire(s), Fuses.) I guess those have obd1, so check for an engine light or diag code (however thats done on that vehicle.)

I'm pretty sure it's the maf.

haha.

Rx7's are retarded like that.

I've experienced a similar problem with an fc.

So rather than taking the time to Search an RX7 forum, where there is most likely an answer...

You're hoping someone on a Nissan S and Z-chassis forum can GIVE you the answer.

Laziness is interesting.

it might be the wiring going into the maf. a lot of time when you're messing with old wiring the wiring comes out of the connector
