Been an RX7 owner for 2 hours now...
Hi guys,
Swapped my 750 BMW for a 1989 NA earlier.
It seems to be displaying typical rotary problems - hot/cold starting, but the main thing is the idle seems to be really rough.
At 500rpm, it feels real lumpy. This isn't normal is it?

Could be a number of things, but it's probably rotten vacum lines. It would be a good idea to replace them all. They are prob 13 years old and are cracked to all hell.

also, you can check the codes by grounding teh initial sec connector...there is a tutorial at www.1300cc.com ...this might give you codes as to whats wrong and you can reference them to a chart that is located on the same website...
