Misfiring 1988 RX-7

Not sure what you mean by "three" coils as the car has a leading coil and a trailing coil. As far as the missfiring is concerned does it occur only when you are decelerating. If so, the likely causes would be either a misadjusted TPS or a problem with the Anti Afterburn valve located inside the ACV. Make sure the Green/Red wire at the three wire TPS plug reads 1 volt w/key to on after the car has been driven for 20 minutes or so. If it doesn't read 1 volt then locate the TPS adjustment screw which is surrounded by a spring on the front of the throttle body as it is part of the throttle linkage and screw it till you get the multimeter to read 1 volt on the G/R wire.
