What is causing my car to die?
I have owned my rx7 for over a year. When I drive my car around for a about an hour it starts to die when I come to stop lights and stop signs. Ive checked fluids and looked for leaks and everything is fine. What would cause my car to just die when warmed up.

Likely idle speed. FSM or Haynes manual will show you how to adjust it.

Basically, it involves the TPS, variable resistor, air bypass screw & throttle stops.
