Good day. I have a problem with this car related to the electrical system for what I hear.
I turn the key, the car sounds like its going to start, but it never does...its not passing gas or something!
A mechanic says he tried every test related to engine problems and he thinks my car has a problem with some electrical issue, perhaps the car's computer its faulty, but he doesn't know for sure.
My car has to be sent now to another car specialist, because he can't work on electrical issues.
The battery its brand new and the spark plugs.
Could you help me determine what can be behind this issue?
Is it really electrical? Your expertise will be appreciated to help me get my car back to normal without being ripped appart with all kinds of mechanical repair bills. Sincerely. Marie.

Start by getting the fuel system pressure checked out and also have the computer checked for code/s then comeback and tell us what's happening-

try this, very simple and very easy, and free..
lift the hood, remove the 40 amp fuse labled "eng inj", try starting the car a few times. ofcourse it wont start. put the fuse back in and it should fire right up. you may need to do this a couple times. very common problem in rx7s
