searched...lots of ideas, but no solutions
I have read all the threads about this, many people have posted what they think
to be the problem but nobody has posted what actually fixed it.
The problem is, my car starts, revs to about 1000, and dies unless you give it gas and hold it above 3000. People have suggested; throttle position sensor, crank angle sensor, intake leak after MAF, clogged fuel filter, bad fuel pump, vac leak, afm etc.
My car has 111,000 miles, its and 88' Turbo II with rats nest gone, emmissions gone, a/c gone and some other stuff. I have replaced the fuel filter, checked the intake, and replaced some of the vac lines in the rats nest. It didn't do this before i put these vac lines in, and when it died on me, i took them off and it still did it. Im a noob and i don't know what to do next. If anyone has posted this problem and was able to fix it, or if anybody else could help me out i would greatly appreciate it.

Checked compression lately?
I know. Not the "Holy grail" answer you were looking for...Sorry
Edit: damnit, Hermit beat me again....I gotta quit thinking about a good answer for so long...

ive only checked the fuel filter, the intake and took off the vac lines i replaced. i haven't really had time and don't really have the know how to check all these systems. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and was able to fix it. Also help on how to check some of these would help.

The problem with ANY vehicle is a problem is rarely always caused by one thing. Especially with a car that's as old as ours.
The solutions proposed to you have fixed people's problems in the past, but it was usually not the first place they looked that fixed everything. It takes time and patience and learning how to take care of these cars.
If you don't have the time then you'll probably leave the Rx7 world telling everyone what a pile of junk they are, when you didn't let into the idea that they aging cars and will not perform like brand new by this point.
