Got a couple of questions to ask...first i just got my rx-7 and im having so problems. my takes about 5 seconds to actually turn over and sometimes it stalls at idle. (plugs were just replaced) And Second....is it normal for the engine to sometimes stay spinning when i have already turned the car off? all advice is appreciated. thank you

The rotors SHOULD NOT be spining when you turn the car off. I've never heard anyone say that before, I guess there's a first time for everything.

the exhaust isnt on or anthing else it sounds like the fans are running i cant tell what it is. i waited 5 mins to see if it stopped and it still was going. i turned it on for a sec then turned it off and it stopped. its happened twice now in about a week.
