Rx7 starts and then dies :(

Hey guys what's up. I'm new to the rotary world but. Not new to cars. I have a 90 s5 na. When I first got her, she would start right up and stall. Fixed the vacuum leak and got her to idle. So now after I figured out she has the 3,800 hesitation issue, I removed the t. And vdi to clean up the ecu ground point. I out everything together and now she just stalls when started. Unless I raise the rpm above 3k. Any clue as to why she won't idle when she did before?

Idk if this helps but all the vacuum lines are put in (will even do the project again when sun comes out just to make sure). And the secondary throttle plates are stuck open. Throttle cable has slack in it. Should I tighten this to specs. (the one thing I didn't do after reassembly)

Small cloud of white smoke upon start up and sounds to me like 1 rotor is catching.

check your tps. and yes tighten everything and go over the vacum lines. and make sure your spark plug wires are connected right! then double check them again

alright cool will do that! its been freezing here in ny and its raining. I was just listening to sound bites and was wondering, even with the new spark plugs will a flooded combustion chamber give the same results? you know not causing it to idle? I'm gonna re-do the project just to make sure the lines are good. because it did Idle fine before I did the project in the first place
