I have a 94' Rx 7 (automatic) lolz yeah.. itz an auto only 20 left of these 3rd gen on da island of hawaii. Well anywayz I have a problem, my car seems to die when idle'n. When idle the rpm is at 1k then drops to just above .5 and then it dies. This usually happans about a minute or so when idle'n. Can anybody help or explain y it dies.

Thanxz

 

it could be alot of things. tps sensor, cold start valve, does it go up and down right away or when its warm you gotta give more than that

 

well It is after I warmed it up. I drove it for a good 10 mins. and after I put it in parked and waited a minute it just dropped less than 1K then died. I tested it out and it idle it after warming it up and sometimes when it idles less than 1k it kicks up back to 1k but other times it doesnt kick back up and just dies.

 

it only has 66K miles on it

 

Like thebigone said, it could be many things. Like most FD problems, exlcuding a blown engine (KOW), my car has experienced them all. Stalling was one of them, and if I remeber correctly it was due to a chain of events. In effort to diagnose my drivability issue, I fiddled with too many components. The actual problem was centered on a fried leading coil. After I installed the new coil, I still had some idle issues. I managed to sort things out by reseting the primary throttle valve, and fast warm up idle cam. I also had to reset the air adjuster screw. What events lead up to your idle problem? How does your car run otherwise?

 

well there wasnt really any events to lead up to the idle problem, i kinda just happaned one day. Well actually before it the problem i did notice when the automatic went from 2nd to 1st without apply'n gas it would be sluggish and quickly slow down without apply'n the brakes. It was also hard to acclerate from out of first, it didnt do that before.
