help start my fd for a burrito

how's it going out there? i just bought a 93 rx-7 and i can't get it to run. it will crank it has spark and is getting fuel but it won't idle. it ran for the old owner but he blew the turbos. so i put the new turbos on and replaced all the old vacume lines. which i might have fu#ked up on. if anyone could help me on this one that would be cool. i'll buy you a burrito. it might be the computer, maybe the battery might have got on backwards i don't know. i don't know anything i just want to drive this thing. any help would be great. thanks i live in Brea Ca (the oc)

IMHO, if your unfamiliar with the car, and unsure on how to proceed with a diagnosis, find the nearest rotary specialty shop to you. It'll cost you more than your current offer, but the car is worth it. You could search in the West section for the one nearest you. Good luck.

If it wont even idle then I would suggest you start looking over everything and make sure the vaccume lines are all plugged in. I would start with the map sensor.

It doesnt sound good that the turbos went out on the previous owner and now you just put other ones on. Have you personally driven the car and it was running correctly?? Or are you just taking the previous owners word for it?

i think a compression check should be high on your list of prioritys. if the vaccum system is hooked up decently and it wont idle for a **** you could have a blown apex.
