New driver with Rotary

I'm about to become legal age to drive but I have been hammy downed a 1990 manual RX-7 Convertible that has been showing me how fun it is to drive. The car itself is awesome but as of this moment, it is a money pit. Today I was going to pick up the RX from the mechanic(was there because of a power steering fluid leak) and on my way home the car started lurching and becoming extremely week. I quickly noticed a check engine light that was pulsing quickly and then would turn off for about 3 seconds and then would repeat. I have read about a "limp mode" when the OMP is troubled and I believe this may be the problem. I am excited to get this awesome car on the road but also look forward to getting info and recommendations from you all. Speaking of recommendations, anything immediate I should do to fix this limp mode?

Welcome! Sorry to hear you're already having mechanical problems but that's just how owning old cars goes. Good luck with the engine troubles!
