Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am an expert on the 2nd generation 1986-1991 rx-7 vehicles (see http://fc3s-pro.com). i find these pulsation damper fires too common with serious/expensive damage - typically will burn wiring harness ($1,200) and all fuel injectors (4x$300) under the manifold. mazda and all mazda dealers refuse to acknowledge this problem. i wish there was a mandatory recall on this part, as the potential of engine fires is way too dangerous. please feel free to contact me. i am also very close with the internet community of these owners. *ak
