There is a test connector in the engine that you ground and then turn to the key to ON. The light flashes the number of times to indicate what codes are stored in memory. I need to find the link to where that connector is...

It could be a cause for hesitation, poor gasoline mileage, power issues. If it runs really, really bad I would be looking elsewhere though for broken, cracked vacuum hoses, dirty air filers and so on.

ok... well after thinking about it, i realized that the previous owner probably had that code for a bit, washed away the oil in the rotor housings, and probably somewhere along there it lost compression in rotor 1... i just hope the rotor housings are in good shape.

We don't need no stinkin' OBD crap!
NO RX-7 came with OBD or OBDII - Mazda dropped the production rather than require having that crap installed.

No, not even the FD has OBDI.
Mazda dropped U.S. production cause one of the reasons was all 1996+ vehicles in the U.S. were required to have OBDII.

Yes, "OBD" is a (U.S.) standard.
Any OBD "scanner" can plug into an OBD port and scan the data.
Yes, the FC has some built-in error code save and display capabilities built into the stock ECU, but this has nothing to do with "OBD".
