My 85 RX7 GS 5 spd, warms up fine w/choke, but then dies when i let it idle, after it warms up. can drive it if i keep the rs up,, Also keeps blowing the meter back fuse,Is that connected to the idle dieing? Thanks

Whats a "meter back fuse"? Do you have all stock emissions hooked up or stripped? We need more info on your setup to help out.
