Help: '89 RX-7 Misfiring, Poor Idle
my friend has a stock 89 rx7 glx. i dont really know how to explain but its putting. like misfiring or something. we just replaced the spark plug, didnt help. what else might it be???? also the idle bounces sometime, how can we fix that? might it be the vacuum lines

The putting could just be afterburn, which is normal for rotaries.

gutting the catz is easy. but you dont have to take everything apart. you take the catz, get a metal pole or something and a hammer, then just brake up all the **** in the cat. (dont breath in that ****, i heard its bad to breath in). when ur done through alot of black smoke well come out the first time starting it up. so watch out
