Take a wire and connect the connect the GRND and the TEN terminals in the diagnostics box in the engine bay.
Turn the key to ON, don't turn the car on though.
The check engine light should start to blink if you have error codes.
Short blink = 1
Long blink = 10
Add them up to find out your code.
If you have more than 2 error codes, there will be a long pause in between each code.
Take the numbers you get and look em up on http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/

It idles and runs FINE in limp.. Just can't boost. As soon as it sees positive manifold pressure it craps out.
Oh, Mike... Sorry, I never read the code.. Just reset the ECU.
