My first post because I've owned RX7's for over 20 years and I've never had this issue...

I have a '9o vert that's been the perfect car of the 3 I've owned, but now this...

As of late, after driving the car a few miles and it gets up to temp and then I cut it off, it won't restart. Acts flooded. If it does by chance fire, it runs like it's got half power. I'll give it a little gas for 20 or so seconds and then something "pops" and the motor runs fine all the way home. After it cools waaaay down, it'll fire right up like nothing was wrong.

I ran it, stationary, in my driveway until it got up to normal temperature. Periodically I put in gear and went back and forth up the drive. Put it in park and let it idle, periodically reving rpm's to 2000 - 2500... not much...

After I knew it was hot enough, I got out the car to look under the hood for leaks of ANY sort... (everything is dry on motor, no vac leaks) and suddenly, the car just dies.

10-15 minutes was all it was on. It gives NO sign of cutting off and when it does, it cuts off clean with no aftergurgle or anything. NO engine light comes on to read the codes, either.

When the car is cold it starts up and drives perfect.

I have spare parts, so I changed plugs, then coils, then Crank angle sensor... all to no avail.

Everything I use is OEM and car is totally stock.

I think the question may be...

"Is the car being told it's cold when it is really hot and not letting it start?"

Thanks for your help,
