It's probably the BAC (bypass air control) valve, especially if it runs fine when put into gear. I've had to replace this thing on both my Rx-7s...

Btw, have you checked your TPS?

(It's shown being done on a TII, but the technique is the same for NAs.)

New - dealership. $$$

Used - try www.rx7world.com or pm hypntyz7 or Icemark (one of them may have a spare kicking around.)

Don't know what a fair price is - I've never bought a used one. Don't pay more than $300.

I was kidding about the $300 part. See the winking smilie? PM those guys. I'm certain it'll be tens of dollars at most.
