Throttle position Sensor going bad?
ok,so i just picked up my rx7 this monday and the engine was running a little rough after it warmed up BUT it goes away after the clutch is engaged. I got a video of how it sounds. A friend came over and said it was the TPS but i just wanna make sure.Any suggestions would help
