Engine problem HELP!!

My rx7 has a very strong engine and runs great. The only problem with it though is that when I am in 1st gear with the clutch in the idle gets real low then the car turns off. Does the idle just need to be turned up? Anyone know?

Welcome to the forum.

The rotary engine's low end torque really falls off, so idle can be tricky.
Without various extra air controls, switching loads will effect idle speed a lot.
About half the plumbing on top of the motor is for idle control.

The factory manual "fuel & emmissions" section has several pages on idle adjustment.
Hit the link to my copy of the on-line manuals in my sig below.
Navagate to that section & download what you need.

Probably a bad or mis-adjusted TPS
