Jerking, bucking when accelerating
My 17 yr old son is new to the rotary engine cars . Just bought a 1990 rx7 13b. The car starts great but once you get going down the road, at acceleration the car starts bucking ( sorry, lack of better wording). Thinking it may be a bad TPS or plugs but I need advise. I work on all our vehicles myself but never have had a rotary motor and don't have a clue how to diagnose problems. ANY advise would be greatly appreciated.. Thank You in advance.

Check the MAF sensor as well (function in addition to just making sure that it’s securely connected). I recall accidentally leaving mine off while doing some other work, and then taking it for a test drive. Was scared that I’d broken something, but turned out that we just hadn’t plugged the MAF back in after a long night of tinkering...
