i hear the fuel pump gas is going to the motor, the plugs are firering but i think the problem is the timing is the timing only the cap that you move left and right? help please!
Don't touch the timing.

Are the plugs new? They will fire but not necessarily fire well. RX-7s are extremely sensitive to weak plugs. Get new NGKs only and try that. Make sure the battery is plenty good as well, it needs the cranking amps.

There is also a good chance it is good and flooded from trying unsucessfully to start it. These cars will not unflood themselves, and will be a real bitch to start. May not start at all until you manually de-flood it. If you have a 5-speed manual the easiest thing to do it tow start it in 2nd gear.
