Hi,

I own a rx-7 and i have a motor problem.
When I use it, the motor starts to go down and up. sometimes, it's just "stuck", and i press the acellarator and nothing happens. in a second or to it acellarates, until it goes down again... it's like it has hiccups!!!

I don't know if it a durty motor, if it needs oil, I simplyu don't know and the mechanicals here in Portugal don't know how to help me.

Thanks for any help

When you start the car, does the idle move? After 15 minutes does it stop moving? If that's the case, there's a strong possibility that the throttle position sensor needs to be replaced.

How's Portugal? My brother loves Spain...

 

I don't know.
When I start the car, it goes up and down alone... is that what you're asking? - yes. for 15 minutes... I'll have to test....
Do you think that Mazda has that specific part? And what about prices?

As to your question.... Portugal is a beautiful country, with warm weather and magnific food. It's a great place to live in!! :-)
