Make sure that the coil harness connectors are fully seated onto the coils.

adjust the screws on the throttle body .. and the screw under the elbow leading towards the throttle body .. basically messed around with it .. and all i can get my car is to lower at 1k rpm .. which is an improvement compared to the 13500 rpm idle .. but before i did the spark plug change it was idling at 750

Edit: If you dont understand what I'm talking about just let me know and I'll take a picture for you. After reading what I wrote myself it sounds kind of confusing lol.

I didn't get a chance to get the car in the garage to take some pictures (night here) but I did find these pictures that should lead you in the right direction. Both of these pictures are from http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/i...n_install.html If you look at the first picture where your supposed to remove the throttle and cruise control cable. Second picture is where the cruise control is located and shows what you need to look for to make sure its all right.
