please help

hi i finally was able to get a 93 mazda rx7r1 with 53,000 miles on it,so far its running amazeing.The only thing that seems wrong is when its at idle.Its at its normal idle at 800 but when i start revving the engine it will rev up but when it goes down it goes below 800 for a little bit and almost feels like its gonna stall and then go back to 800 and be normal.is this something i should worry about?Please respond because i just spent 14,000 on it.thanks

If it idles at all, you're doing good in my book.

Check your TPS voltages to make sure they're in spec.

Change the spark plugs,fuel filter(if you can afford it),check the condition of the air filter/s. If dirty replce or clean as needed. These small things can affect idle quite a bit. ( plus it's something you can do,...plugs are easy at least....and relativly cheap.) It may be a clogged cat. But try the plugs and stuff first. Good luck!!

Might be your grounding. Make sure your grounding connections are clean.
