IT STARTS!!! RAWR!!!!! but issues need to be resolved **help**
After a long 6 months of downtime on the FC I finally got it to start! WHOOOHOO!! exciting. But unfortunatly not drivable in its current condition. Heres the skinny:
6 months ago my car died on the highway and would not crank or start back up. By the way things were lookin i knew right away it was the alternator so i checked it out and sure enough it was dead, as well as my battery. While it was down iv decided to replace various items.
Power Steering -----> Manual Steering
FC 70amp alternator -----> FD 100amp Alternator
550cc injectors -----> 720cc injectors
Stock ECU ----> Rtek 2.0
Brittle Stock Vacuum hoses ----> new OEM vacuum hoses
Emissions ----> no emissions w/ block off plates
Stock Suspension -----> Stance GR+ Pro
Right now the car starts and idles at roughly 1000-1500, and when i mean roughly i mean roughly. Good compression on both rotors i might add. There is that idle hunting demon that occurs, iv checked all the vacuum hoses and all seems fine, even did the propane trick and sprayed starter fluid everywhere and didnt seem to have any effect. Might be my TPS that needs adjustment? I tired driving the car out of the driveway only to find the car jerking and lunging forward when i try to get on it. LAME! anyway.. i have a log for you RTEK users if you can take a look at it and let me know if you catch something wrong that i should pay attention to so i dont end up blowing myself up during my trial and error making my rx7 idle smoother and drivable.
