PFM starter?

[mikey]

Anyone know what starter is in the PFM? I think it might be the Bosch SR34X but looking to confirm. Also, what is a healthy cranking RPM for this car? Mine seem low, under 200rpm, making it difficult to start sometimes. I'm using a boost battery, and voltage logs during cranking don't reflect any issues there. But cranking rpm is often only 150-170ish.

anybody in FL happen to have the Mazda rotary compression tester?

Cheers,
Mike

Pretty sure SR34X is the right starter.
200 RPM sounds low but it will probably fire. If the starter is pulling too much voltage it may drop the ignition voltage below what is necessary to fire.
