New owner with idle issues
I wanted one for a while and took someone up on an offer even though its having idle issues. (1989 Rx7 fc s5 n/a vert) I would love some help with Diag. When AWS is activated it idles fine, When the car is at 1500-2000 (wax temp?) it still idles fine but when it is supposed to drop below 1000 it just tanks rpm and dies every time. I am going to inspect BAC for proper operation but I am not convinced on what the issue could be. It runs perfectly when you are on the throttle it just has issues with idling. I dont want to say vacuum issues yet because im still in denial from the past 4 vehicles that ive owned having a vacuum issue in one way or another but I would love some advise on what to check first. This is also bone stock, emissions and everything.

9 times of 10 with these cars it is a vacuum issue, sorry. :lol:
Start with the TPS set procedure first. I had my car for years with idle issues. The proper idle set procedure worked, I did mine with the two light method. Then the 1 volt method later at the ECU, that seemed to work a little better. TPS My idle speed still drops occasionally, I will have my ECU recapped and see what happens. |

I have check engine codes 11 and 17 which is if im not mistaken intake air temp and oxygen sensor if that helps |
Yep, that'll do it. 11 for sure, not sure about 17. The O2 in S4's don't do much, maybe they do in S5's
