you dont need money to strip the thing, seriously there's very few things that arte on the motor that are actually needed, its always the first thing i do when i get a 7, i also never run a BAC...personally choice but i have good success with my methods, and ive fixed plenty of peoples "impossible" problems. If i still had my n/a i would've donated the exhaust system to you, but i sold the car for $600, you shoulda bought it from me, 30k on the motor and trans, 15k on the clutch. no one wanted it tho lol.

and ive been driving it forever with a random shitty idle. like today when its cold it bounces form 2k and up.

going through drivethroughs sucks, they cant hear me. ***** just so annoying.


LOL welcome to the world of rotary, a 100% car is rare .



also have you put a timing gun on the car? if the timing is off that'll make yuou rip your hair out trying to set the idle, been there with jw's car, his timing wound up being off almost 180 degrees and i still had that thing idling pretty solid at 1k, reset the timing and got it dead on and i had it idling perfectly .



and rememebr, dont worry about the tps until you get the idle down to at least staying around 1k, then set the tps, then lower the idle some more, and then set the tps, and keep going like that until you get it where you want it and where its best, every time you move one of the idle adjustments (throttle stop, idle adjuster, etc) i always recommend at least double checking if not completely resetting the tps. and use the ohmmeter method, the lights thing is so-so.

i found the throttle stop on a spare na tb i had laying around.



**** looks impossible to get to with the tb still in the car.



i looked around at other ****, and it seemed like the dashpot was holding it open some, so i ripped it out.



ill see if that helped at all tomorrow.



i really need to find a tstat and put it back in.

i took mine out trying to diagnose some coolant problems at the track int he middle of summer and it never made its way back in.

and now with this weather its killing me.

swapped ecu's for fun.



idle was at like 2k+ and bouncing.



now seems to be 1500 and bouncing.



or its just my imagination that it actually made a difference.



i hate this thing.



i wish it ran right.

i cant get to that screw and i highly doubt having the idle adjusted high would make it bounce like it does....



it also stumbles a lot in high rpms when im going WOT.



it all doesnt make sense and i have no idea which part of this fucked up 80's ECU idle control bullshit system im overlooking.
