My engine seems to idle around 1500rpm and when i press on the gas the rpms go up then when i release the pedal the idle goes up a couple rpm what is happening ?

 

Try adjusting the air mixture screw on the carb

 

what about the idle screw

 

The air mixture screw will help correct your idle before you have to deal with the idle screw if you even have to. Most times you don't have to mess with the idle screw

 

alright, i am new to this rx7 so where do i look for the air screw?

 

What is this, the 666 twins? You are both going to rot in a very warm place. LOL.

Go to the stickies at the top of the forum, then to the 1st gen facts. There is probably more than you ever wanted to know about the Nikki's in there.

Here, I'm feeling generous today. https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/1st-gen-rx-7-faq-page-237777/ Happy reading.

thanks i got it idleing now at a ghood spot

 

What's it idleing at now?

 

the idle is around 250 to 500

 

is that to low?

 

book says 800 is the proper setting. older engines will idle nicely 800-1100 rpm.

 

alright so i geuss i would touch the idle screw again

 

but i think it only ides there when cold

 

i started my car yesterday and had troubles jsut getting it to idle but it hadnt been started in a year
