CO 87 Rx7 GXL w/Auto Trans

Ok so my car i get in i get it to start i touch the gas it dies. I keep trying and it will run one time no different and ill hit the gas and i have to hold it over about 4500-5000 other wise it dies. So after its running it idles just fine sounds good. runs ok breaks up at about 4500 and on but it still runs good. Then i let it idle for more then about 1min and it dies. Then i try to restart it and it wont. If i shut if off and not let it die and try to restart it, it wont start still. It will sound like you can hear the car fireing as if it was running really slow whlie the starter is going. Basically wants to run just barley wont. So after about 30-40min (again if im lucky) it will restart. It will usually start the first crank only when its cold or if im getting jumped and its been sitting for a lil bit. I cant figure out this car any help is appriciated.

and it has a new starter, PS pump, waterpump and various other stuff.

hopefully some one else can add more insight or at least confirm my thought, but it sounds like the car is flooding (too much fuel/ running rich)

here is a link to get the FSM (factory service manual) for free if you do not already have it. "If you are going to work on your own car then this is a invaluable tool that all should have at their disposal."

Ok now the car warms up to about half way or just a lil above, it use to run right above the third line. i got it to idle ok but if i hit the gas and rev it it will die, now when ever i try to start it after i drive it it will turn over and you will hear it start to sputter but it doesnt ever have the power to keep going to run(idle). i really need help with this car
