missfire?

When I first start my rx7 (1987 na) Its fine, and at low room its fine. If I were to give it up to 4000 it missfire or seems to skip. After it warms up its runs fine. I can floor it all day. I dont know were to start. Is there some question you guy could ask to help me narrow it down?

Any time I hear of issues at 4k rpm, first thing I think of is secondary injectors.
Not sure why it would clear after warming up though.

It does not feel/sound like a missfire. It seems like a fuel cut.

You might want to check the water thermosensor if a hot start engine runs fine from the get go in addition to a cold start engine running fine after the engine has warmed up.

Are you confusing the thermosensor with the thermostat? And using the advanced search feature will provide you with 100's of threads related to timing.
