rx7 confusing for first time owners...

well as you can see i just got my rx7 94 fd3s turbo...since i got it did the major tune ups and it runs fine now....i was just wondering...have you guys every had this problem when you first start your car up in the morning....it idles upon starting, then it dies out right after....u have to keep reving it for a bit to keep the car from dying out then as it warms up, it starts to hold idle...??? what is that due to..??

and another thing....is these RX7 known for flooding gas? i think that's what i did and it flooded my engine cuz the check engine like go on and it kills the car...when i try starting the car up again after driving the car hard....black smoke comes out the exhaust...it takes a while and couple cranks to start right up again...is there a way to prevent that?

there is so much stuff i'm learning about these rotary engines...but i really like these cars...lol...i'm just curious if others go through these problems too...other than that...awesome car man...!! i don't think i'll ever go back to my honda's again...lol...

Don't know how to fix your problems but I would start by checking the codes your car is giving to you. I just did a search on this section for check+codes and this is the link I found:

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ht=check+codes

Good luck! BTW, get a service manual. It will help you immeasurably plus it's a good read!!!
