About throttle plate cleaning, thats easy, something anyone can do if you can use tools.

And the new o2 sensor you can find at rx7.com

To clean the throttle plate, take off the intake elbow, and clean the metal plates in the throttle body....it's that simple....

Thumbs up

thanks brent...yeah i did that, it turns out the plates were pretty clean, now they are super clean. the reason why my 1st rotary died was because i flooded it really bad the 1st day i had it...but i got it situated..i just hairdryed the spark plugs and cleaned out the spark plug chamber with a tee shirt and coathanger and let the car chill for an hour...started up stong after all that.
