Every day. Same thing. I start it in the morning. It starts right up. Goes to about 2k for maybe a minute, then reduces rpm to about 700. If left idling for more than a minute - it dies. I start it again & give it a little r's & pull out onto the street. By the time I get out of our neighborhood. Say two minutes, it'll never do it again & runs strong. It's a '88 13B 'vert. Whatz up?
Oh yeah, we've only had it since 7/31/04. Gets 22mpg freeway. City maybe 15. City mileage might be my fault. I really like 2nd & 3rd.

 

Mine self revs also at start

 

mine doesn't rev when cold, it just stalls. if I rev it a few times or keep my foot on the gas for maybe 10 seconds, it will run.

it's worse when it's cold outside.

 

Rocket, HOLY DOODOOZ BATMAN!!! Uhhhhhh. I WANT one!!!

 

Sooo, something must be wrong or it should continue to idle.. Should I just take it in for a check-up? I don't know dick about rx-7's (total nubie) & I don't want to find out (later) that just because I think it runs good & the temp has never even seen the middle of the guage that it's ok. Thanks again, Gary

 

It'll be a problem with the thermowax and/or the BAC valve.

That's 99.9% true......but I knocked off/dislocated/unplugged my water thermo sensor plug of the back of the water pump a week ago, unknowingly, and that darn car would start in the morning but wouldn't idle til I started it again and held the pedal for several moments. Since finding the plug off and reinstalling it....no more problems.

But your problem is probably the adjustment of the thermowax/fast idle cam/timing/improper idle setting/ bac/one of the above. Free fsm online. Fuel Section is helpful.

 

meaning my front tires at least one inch off the ground

I should change that lol

 

Where you just being a smartass or really thinking that?Come on now when you look @ the sig you can't help but notice the cars at least an inch of the ground you need some common sense.Im sorry you must be a gay pedo for having those thoughts.Oh hell no!!!

 

there if that don't help only god can save you! lol

 

trying check the coolant sensor under the alternator. Mine did the same thing and found that is was unpluuged as soon as I plugged it back in she starts great in the cold.

 

tps issues maybe

 

mine does it but thats because my tps is f'ed/--- out ajustment --won't work right
