Exclamation Need Help.... Asap......

I recently bought a rx7 and now I'm having problems with it.... problems I'm having wit my 1986 rx7 list below..

Idles around 1550, 2000, and sumtimes 3000.. But lowers kind of after da engine heats up.. What causes this?

Car accelerates slow... why??

My battery dies a lot... ( I have bought new terminals, alternator, and battery) and it keeps dieing why??

My corner , and brakes lights dnt turn on at nite... (there's a switch in my car that turns these on) why don't they turn on anymore when I switch it on??

My gauges... my oil pressure, battery, odometer, speedmeter dnt work at all... what can I check or fix so that they can work??

My c.p.u... the thing 4 the signals, warning lights, door beepy thingy seems to jus have failed.. Can it be fixed by soldering or do I need a new 1??

Basically what I'm asking from my ROTARY BROTHERS... is for help and if someone can come look at my car ( I haven't put insurance or tags on my car cause of these problems, so I wnt be able 2 drive it out of my neighborhood), maybe fix the wiring or whatever can be wrong with it.. Or give me a step by step instruction on how to fix these problems.. If anyone has the time to help me out and wants to come check out my problems then please feel free to email me at BXBOMBA@TMAIL.COM this is my direct email 2 my fone.. But I'm broke so please dnt charge me a billion dollars 2 fix the car.... asking 4 urgent help!!.... thanks to anyone that will help.. Please contact me soon if you know how 2 fix all these problems.. Need my car 4 transportion 2 work n school.. Thanks..

Hey,
Im no expert but i would say check your main harness ground and then if that is good, check all your grounds and then start checking relays...

Thats what i would do if you know for sure the ALT is good and batt is not beyond its life span...

>I read that this would be normal and the engine is simply heating itself.

check your fuses for the gauges the speedometer is mechanical you need to get a speedometer cable

is your car a n/a? if it is thats y your car accelerates slow....do a quick test and put your car in nuetral and rev it if it revs up really slow that means you would have a clogged cat

the idle thing is normal
