Manual headlight knob?

The air pump is a required ancillary if you have a catalytic converter. Without the air pump, your cat will clog (which will certainly impact performance). If you haven't a cat, then the air pump is no longer necessary. This is true for all Rx7s up to and including year 1988. For reference purposes, Rx7s from year 1989 onwards also use the air pump to actuate the auxiliary ports (which does affect performance.

Thanks! Guess I'm good since I don't have a cat.

Enter the cabin, remove the cowl around your headlight switch and look at the connector on the back. If it is burnt or melted, you need a new switch and possibly a new harness. It is a common failure.

A secondary problem would be that Haynes manual nonsense, why not go directly to the source.
All factory service manuals available free for download here: Foxed.ca - Mazda RX-7 Manuals
Pretty much everything you need to know is in there, your guessing days are over.

Given your screen name, I assumed as much. It's an obscure Eric O reference that no one is expected to get.
Not sure...the word I used has no "s".
Bushwah (the "h" is optional) is a colloquialism that means "piffle or nonsense" when used genteelly and "bullshit" in cruder company.
No one in their right mind would recommend Haynes over factory...are you institutionalized perchance?
