Oh no, what's wrong with my 7

hey guys, I am having more problems with my rx7.

The first problem is, when i get on it at all or even just casual cruising I get fuel cut like crazy. and then it comes right back it genereally happens up hill but it happens all the time now. Could this be my fuel injectors?

Second problem, well this is actually not that big of a problem more like a question about your opinions, my car beeps five times when i drive it but it does it for the duration of my trip. it beeps in sets of five, I have lookeed it up on here and found that it is telling me my power steering pump is going bad. Would it be worth it to just take the power steering pump out?

and could this have anything to do with my fuel cut?

ok number one what kind of car is it? turbo or non turbo? what year? that has alot to do with it. If its turbo, and your hitting fuel cut while going up hill then dont do it, weather is colder right now and means your building more boost, plus the computer is trying to save your engine before you go and blow it up...

As for the steering pump someone else can chime, in im a fan of the manual rack.

Check and set your throttle position sensor.

A qualified no.
A real manual rack or a properly depowered power rack are easy to live with.

Just removing the belt and looping the lines makes for crappy steering feel.

Just test it with an ohm meter and see. If it checks out to spec, warm up the car and set it.
