i know it sounds simple...but make sure you have a good connection to your battery. i've done it before and thought it was several things...then finally i started with the simplest thing and tada.

Turns out its the starter... go figure, i dunno how that would cause it to run really rough though. But i got it push started and it ran fine. So looks like im in replacing that.

Im thinking if the starter caused a electrical issue that would cause the problem with spiting and sputtering like it did. Although the #1 spark plug was flooded to high hell so that may be more of the issue. Its for my 96 sentra, not rx7. ill see if it fixed it.
