Poor idle - Bridgeport
I have an 87 RX7. Has Bridgeport intake. Does this make it idle odd. It bounces 500 to 1500 continuously.

Any more info about the car?
If it's running the stock intake and ECU, there's your problem. A bridgeport is a high overlap race port. It's like sticking a race cam in a piston engine and then expecting it to run without tuning.
You will probably be able to get it running acceptably with the stock ECU and intake by just tossing fuel at it. However you're wasting the potential of the port.
If you give a bit more info on the car, I can give more specific advice.
