Question 1988 rx7 turbo II intercooled problem NEED HELP!

I have an 88 10th an. rx7 and when I start it in the mornings it will start but when i hit the gas the car just dies once it warms up it runs ok but will randomly die for no real reason sometimes not even trying to stay alive. Can anyone help me out here?

A good rule of thumb is to start with the simple things and move to the complex and not the other way around. I'm learning that the hard way as someone new to these cars.

Idle is set wrong and the bac's isn't working, plus I'd bet the throttle body has been messed with.
