Smoke and rough idle on startup? please help
#1
When i first start my recently purchased 1991 7 (non-turbo)
i notice that it revs to around 4 and then falls rapidly and if i don't keep on the gas it will die.
also the idle is rough even with the engine warm and it smokes if revved high on startup (hence the smokes on startup) or sometimes when warm. if anybody knows anything that i can do to fix this please tell me.
ps a mechanic said that i needed high performance plug wires (70+) but i had just bought a 30$ set from advanced auto parts. and why would this affect the smoking? thanks

The thing about the wires is bullshit as well, NGK wires are fine, and dont even cost that much. Try to find a rotory friendly mechanic in your area, and make good friends with him. ( im attaching a pic to test to see if it comes up smaller )

If that thermal wax pellet thing was removed then the car will die when it's cold, unless you hold on the gas. At least that's what I was told.

If you need good plug wires, get some Magnecor from www.mazdatrix.com They're pretty cheap and work really well.

On your 'vert? That really says a lot about their wires.
