where are you located?? for a problem like that, i would just go to a shop and have it professionally checked..dont rely on anyone on this forum because if something goes wrong, all they can do is say sorry..im not trying to offend anyone here, im sure most of you guys know your **** but just for safety..

there are a couple of rx7 specific shops here in jersey with many many many years of experience, im sure they can get that thing running in no time..and with winter approaching soon, now is the time to start calling these shops..

pm me if you want more details

yeah, get a flatbed..when my car got a flat, i specifically told them i want a flatbed to come get me cause my car is low which it is..and even with the flatbed, my car almost scraped so they used planks of wood to help out..i still managed to get on without scrapping..

im telling you man, get a flatbed and hit up a reputable shop, i know its more money out of the pocket but at least you're not guessing what could be wrong and its done right..

You need more than a wideband and a laptop. You need someone who can tune it, just adjusting your fuel maps without adjusting the timing and correction maps will most likely cost you your motor.

Tuning is one of those things you don’t want to try on your own.
