Reviving a forgotten 95 FD from a field...
I found a 95 rx-7 in a field about a week ago. bought it and have done the basics to get it going but im running into a major issue!
Ive changed/ replaced
-oil/and filter
-coolant
-fuel filter (retarded)
-spark plugs
-wires
NOW THE PROBLEM
the car idles great! but when you press the gas it spudders and wants to die. what could be the problems
thank you for your help

the map sensor is on the firewall behind the throttle body. Should have a rubber hose and a vapor filter attached.

How long does it idle great, and whats the idle rpm? Also what do you mean when you say press the gas? Immediately sputters? Sputters at 3000rpm? 6000 rpm?
Fill us in with more details if you can.

sat for 11 years- already replaced the gas with a cleaner and octane booster
so when i pressed very lightly on the gas maybe 1/8 down go to 4k and start to spudder and cut out
IF I press 1/4 down or more like 1/2 or to the floor it immedietaly spudders out wanting to die.
looked really well in the engine bay nothing is unplugged . dont know if anything is missing first rotary

There is a fuel temperature thermosensor on a stock FD. Its in the secondary fuel rail.
Anyhoo, as far as the sputtering, maybe the car is in limp mode. Reset it and see?
Sometimes when I don't mow my grass its like *I* find an FD forgotten in a field. Of course its just MY FD but oh well.
