Cold start equipment
It appears that my car still has the cold start equipment that the factory was supposed to remove.
Has anyone else come across this? Our local rx7 guru said it would be best to remove it, as the factory was supposed to.
Any info would be great, thanks

Are you referring to the cold start reservoir? If so, nothing is hurt by it being in place. It's easy to remove, however. Just disconnect the tube and electrical connector, yank the reservoir off the bracket, and then place a vacuum cap over the nipple on the manifold.

hm, well is there anyway to not have it jump to high idle at first start?
winters in Colorado are cold so it stays up there for a while; thats all fine and stuff but i have a really loud exhaust and would rather wait for it to warm up at normal idle.
i think my neighbors are gonna shoot my car/me otherwise this winter.

Don't know if that's something you have thought of. I believe it is worth the money.

Yeah, I'm from CO also and I understand. The only way to get rid of the AWS (accelerated warmup system) easily is to get RTek. http://pocketlogger.com/index.php?pid=rtek7

To remove the 17 sec. startup/rev sequence you may need an ecu to remove, but it's to get the oil flowing through your motor on start-up so I would not recommend deleting that option.

On mine you can cancel it but just tapping the gas pedal. It starts then trys to climb up a quick jab on the pedal and it drops the idle down to normal. BTW if you take all that stuff off you will have to hold the throttle to warm the car up in the mornings when its cold.
Alot of guys say to get rid of the AWS because the engine might not be oiling fully yet and the RPM is sometimes kinda high. I personally don't think it matters much.

tapping the gas doesn't reduce the rpms much for me on really cold days.
but putting the car in gear when starting seems to help more though.
i dont mind a slightly higher rpm but last winter it stayed up at like 3.5 rpms for a long time no matter what.
at now with a loud exhaust i can foresee my neighbors slashing my tires or something for waking them up at 430-530am everyday.
im gonna get a new exhaust but highly doubt i will get it before the cold cold days come considering they were already here by this time last winter.
thus is my dilemma.

I think thats the job of the secondary air injection not the AWS. The AWS is hooked up directly to the oil injectors. It causes a pressure change at the top of the oil injectors to open them more probably. I never really checked. What does it matter if the engine starts up and holds an idle when you first start it? I never understood this question. All engines do that.
