help with new rx-7

hello.. this is my first rx-7.. and i had some buds with ALOT of experience help me out.. i went and looked at over 20 rx-7's to find this one.. it has 90k miles on the motor.. its an auto 88 se (i think) its interior is almost mint only a small rip on the drivers seat.. ill get some pics up soon.. but anyways the motor had flooded the lady said the classic "i moved it 10 feet shut it off and it wouldnt start" i immediately raised my fist in victory and offered her 1k cash, and towed it home.. anyways i got home, my friends and pulled fuses and tryed to easy unflood it. didnt work.. so then we put 60w oil in each housing and turned and turned over and over and finally the motor made compression, anyways after a few hours of removing the spark plugs, cleaning them and putting them back in.. we got the car to start.. very rough idle, then would not idle so we could get it to run but only by reving it.. anyways HUGe clouds of smoke came out and filled up the block.. the cats got clogged and caught on fire .. so we had to remove the whole exhaust system.. anyways..as the car sits now.. the car has trouble starting..wont idle.. and it cuts off after about running 40 seconds abruptly like it cuts off or something.. im going to wire open the 5th and 6th ports tommorow.. but im trying to figure out why the car will not idle.. ihave not even driven it yet.. im thinking maybe a vaccum line or an o2 sensor.. or something with fuel.. help would be greatly appreciate.. it feels good to be in the rx-7 community finally.. thanks
