I was on my way to work, driving under very normal conditions.i had the following accessories on at the time of the fire.heater, radio, rear defroster, and maybe the headlights.i was stopped at a traffic light when smoke started to come out from under the hood.i pulled over turned off the car and slowly opened the hood to find the main fuse box (connected to the battery) on fire.there were flames about 4-5 inches high.i was able to blow the fire out.i then let the car rest for about 15 minutes.after that i started the car and drove it home.after the fire, any time any electrical accessory is turned on (blinker, lights, heater, a/c, brakes) the "charge" and "abs" warning lights come on, and so do the warning lights built into the oil pressure, fuel level, and water temp gauges.the fire damaged the one end of the fuse box with the 120 amp fuse as well as some surrounding wires and connectors, and the underhood insulation which was burned by the flames.

Mazda 1994 rx7 fd3s pulsation dampener failure. Caused loss of fuel and damage to wire harness. The fuel leaked onto and into the wire harness and caused the harness to become saturated, damp and brittle. I also had to pay to replace and install new pulsation dampener, wire harness, intake gasket and a few other parts do to the pulsation dampener failure. I also had to pay for labor. Total was around $1600.00 usd. I am not happy and i hear this damper fails all the time for my local dealer.
I came extremely close to an engine fire. My engine bay was soaked with fuel. Now half the engine has to be taken out in order to fix this problem. I shouldnt have to fix this. The rx-7 has been around long enough to be able to come up with a suitable fix for this problem. I dont want this to happen again. It is very dangerous. Why is this not on the fuel system recall fix list. It is know to fail.

Recall 00 e 069 000.stricker has separated causinghood to stay open.recall was issued forafter market parts only.
This seems to be a common failure for this car.not only is it an expensive repair, but from what i understand this 'pulsation damper' failure has lead to many fires in this car.i believe the problem is happening again and i hope i don't have to pay another $500 to have it repaired again. I think that because it is so dangerous and so common in this car, mazda should accept some of the responsibility.
Manufacturer's headquarters had advised consumer thatfront passenger's side coil spring would not be available from japan until 2 weeks after ordering it.consumer felt thattoo much time was spent ordering a part.
