rx7 not idling

Postby gs-panda » Sun Jan 05, 2014 9:14

So I did some work on the rx7 not to long ago follow by new seats, brakes, and hood. But most importantly the omp lines have been changed, but in doing so cause my car to die out. Now the 7 will not hold it idle it starts warms up a bit and dies...itll only hold idle of I gas it

I usually find leaks with a can of starting fluid (ether). If you spray near the air leak the engine will rev up.

Good luck panda!
