I got my RX-7!
I just got my RX-7 delivered! It is awsome! However I have to leave it at the transmission shop tonight and I can't be with it. I am getting up in the morning to go check it out some more!
I got it and started it up and it went up to 3000 rpm's in park. It is at the transmission shop so I am hoping it isn't the motor!

i believe mazda put that in as the warm up period. it is normal for it to rev up and start at 3k rpm and slowly go down and settle to its normal idle speed.
if you have a manual transmission, to avoid this start it up in gear. put it in first and hold the clutch in and start it. don't forget to keep the clutch in or else you'll stall. give it ~10 seconds then you can put it in neutral and release your clutch. some people believe mazda putting the 3k rpm warm-up period is not good for the engine and so people found this method to get around it.
btw it should only go through this warm-up period only if the carm isnt warmed up... heh

It is a 1993 Silverstone Metallic touring edition with red leather interior. It has 55,811 miles! I was looking it over more this morning to figure out how to open the gas tank. Which after I read the owner's manual i figured it out. It is down then right. I opened it and now I can't close it because the little lip that should retract didn't and the fuel door won't catch. Anyone else have this problem?

ObliqueFD: I've got a 93 Auto also. Don't worry bout the 3K rev at start up. It's meant to do that to warm the pre-cat. If your car's pre-cat has been replaced with a downpipe (DP), then just bump the gas pedal at start up and the rpm's will drop immedietely. Good Luck. Your quest for a perfect FD is about to start!!.
