No idle and dying under 3k RPM
Hi there,
So recently, my 1986 RX-7 has been giving me problems. It will die if it goes anywhere under 3k rpms and just flat out not idle. About a month ago, I was under the car and when I moved a wire connected to the starter, i noticed it sparked. I didn't think much about it and just tightened the bolt. After this though, I couldn't get it to idle! That was when it first started happening. Then, about two weeks ago, I changed my clutch in my garage and upon putting the transmission back in, I went to start it and it just will not go anywhere under 3k rpms. I do not have my exhaust on right now and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Anywhere above 3k runs completely fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have noticed 1 or two vacuum lines have been broken, so my question is: how much leakage is too much?
