1988 rx7 se wont idle

hey i just got done replacing my injectors b/c it would bog out after 4k and it worked great for about 24 hours.

however now my car wont idle

i have the idle set to 750 however the idle always fluctuates about 500 rpms and even if i have the idle set to 1500 it will continue to drop out to 0 and stall out when i take a hard turn


not a damn clue where to start and im a car nub so please help me if you can :-(

How about starting from square one and adjusting the entire idle system per the FSM?

The abreviations are explained in the FAQ, I would recommend you read that first. Next, the search function is the best source for information, since these same problems have been posted countless times. If you still have trouble or can't find the exact problem then post and be specific. Anyone here is willing to help you, but you must take the first steps..FAQ and search.

Good Luck!
