Yes, it's normal on a lot of RX7s due to the transition on teh fuel pump. NOrmally changing the ECU or regrounding parts of the car will help this.

r1stunna,
a simple change of the ground straps could get rid of this but every RX7 has it's own way of solving this problem. Some works for one and not for another. Getting the power FC seems to be a sure way of getting rid of it. However, my first shot would is to add some new grounds.

does anyone know if the PFC uses two speeds for the fuel pump, like the stock ECU? or still turns on the secondary injectors at 3000rpm?
