RX7 Stalling
Hello
Ive bought a 1993 RX7 Single Turbo.
The car starts up and ticks over fine, but after a while of driving when i get to a junction, the revs get really low and sometimes the car cuts out. I just start it back up and drive on.
Ive heard that theres a screw somewhere at the back of the engine that you turn to alter the tickover.
If this is true, can anyone please tell me where abouts it is.
Thanks
Rich

I don't know what "tickover" means...
However, your problem is indicative of a vacuum leak or an idle valve failure.
I'm not a 3rd gen person so hopefully now that this thread is approved someone else will chime in.

Sounds like the throttle body settings need to be checked and adjusted. Its more than one screw.
This is a decent thread on troubleshooting idle issues but it focuses on TPS:

The Factory Service Manual also has the procedures for troubleshooting and fixing idle issues. It can be downloaded from a sticky in the 3rd gen section.
I used to have a link somewhere to a thread on adjusting the various settings of the throttle body but can't find it right now.
