this could be a leaky injector but it would flood on start up. I would say get a na non turbo engine. I turbo engine is harder to work on and they have problems a lot. I would say get a nice na and learn about it. I can beat high mileage turbo 2s with mystreetported na

T2 swap or not its still got problems. My friend paid 4k for his and didnt know anything about it...now hes selling it to me for 2500 lol. they are way more complicated than na's. if you really want the car then get it but you better be in for a long haul

I have to agree with AreExSeven, you should carefully consider your resources and who will be doing the work on your car, or it will more than likely be a 'long haul'. I really don't mean to discourage you, but my personal experience has taught me that it is ten times as hard to find knowledgeable mechanics to work on rotary powered cars than on regular piston motor cars.
I hope this was helpful and that I didn't just make your decision harder. Good luck.

Either that guys an idiot and thats a steal or he knows what hes doing and that cars going to end up nothing but an unfinished project and massive headaches and frustration. Not to mention lots of money and time spent for nothing. think about it before you spend your money. You could always save up and hold off till you find something nicer. Trust me thats usually the best idea when your unexperienced with heavy mechanical work on Rx-7s.
