Vented = total mess if you track the car, perhaps a mess anyway
Plugged = easy, may cause stalling in cold climates
Re-plumbed = prevents stalling in cold climates
There you have it! The idle is still high on start-up even with the thing plugged. Except it is only 2000-2500 rather than 3000.
I recommend plugging it and seeing if you gat stalling. If not, leave it as-is. If it does stall, replumb it.

Yup. That and a hose clamp. Works like a charm, and no mess @ the track. I don't have idle problems, but I have a Power FC...

Anyone know if the blocking off the accelerated warm-up system line increases engine temps?

My motor is running 1 degree Celsius higher than before with the AWS line plugged with a 5/8-inch HELP cap. matty, I monitor my water temps with a Power FC Commander like you do. It might be coincidental...the ambient temps have risen here in Indy recently...?

I dunno if you want to order the block off plates from the Rx-7 store, they tent to forget to ship stuff. Like my block-off plates. They were supposed to be here on wed. But they forgot to ship them so now I will have to vent to AWS untill the next time I decide to take off the UIM.

Don't your temps stay within a range rather then sitting at a specific degree. My car is always 85-87C. Kd changed my fans to 86. i have stock rad.

That raises another issue/question....i think dave did the same with mine....86=low and 87= high. That means that we are driving around with our fans on90% of the time..u think that hurts performance...the reason why i ask is that i am going to the strip on sunday.

Wow, those are some LOW fan settings. I would guess that your fans are almost always on in town driving. It seems a little excessive. I would think regularly keeping the temps under 205-210 F (98-100 C) would be fine.

Don't think it will hurt performance. It will wear out our rad fans more quickly LOL
