car dies all the time
 
everyday when i turn on my car, 88 rx7, it will die if i don't rev up on the gas for a while. like until i warm it up really good. and even then it stutters. it also stutters a bit when ur on the gas and driving. does it mean there is something wrong with the throttle or is it with the fuel...i am not sure, but i thought it might be like an air sensor, like when u disrupt the air flow or the sensor. but that would mean, that it would still die even if it warmed up, correct¿ but its fine when it warms up. i noticed that when i got the car, that only the tip of the dipstick was touching oil. i haven't really driven it much. i would change the oil, but i forgot the oil filter. so i'll get one tomorrow. but yeah, i put about 1.5 quarts. and i'll change it tomorrow. all the way. but wut do u think the reason is fort the stalling when i start it¿ i only have the problem if i haven't started the car for like all night or most of the day. i bought some fuel injector cleaner that says it will eliminate rough idling and hesitation. so maybe it will help a bit, but i think its much bigger than that. wut do u think¿

Sounds like you have an intake leak. Check all your hoses for cracks.

I have an 89 rx-7 gtu - my car idles really rough when i start it too. As a matter of fact - it's idles rough when i stop completely or put it in reverse. I bought fuel injector cleaner and used it - it did nothing for the idle. I was told a couple things.
1. My throttle could be screwd up. even turning the screw doesn't make my idle any better.

2. I was told to change my spark plugs and wires. Sometimes that helps idling. But in my case - it didn't.

3. My fuel pump could have crapped out. - Sometimes my car just wont start! I heard that it could be because my fuel pump isn't getting enough fuel through. So i YET have to check that.

4. I was also told to check my TPS which i havn't done either.

I would say - check the fuel filter and the fuel pump and make sure that enough fuel is getting through when u start it. If they r both fine - Check your TPS, spark plugs, and plug wires. If it still idles rough when u start it - have your throttle looked at. I havn't found a good place near me yet. Everyone by me tells me to screw off because no1 like to work on these cars. I hope i helped. ttyl
