warmin up

85 GSL.

I am always having to warm my car up using the choke before it will idle. This isnt a bad thing..as I've always warmed my cars up before driving...do all RX7's have to warm up for a while before idling? if not..whats the factor that determines whether or not the car will fire right up?

a lot of rotaries i have owned required the choke being pulled until the engine is warm. sounds like your windows are off track. perhaps the plastic clip is broken on your track. that is common.

I have the same problem. I keep reading that it has to do with adjusting the accelerator pump but I just kinda learned to live with it.

I just pull the choke to start it. Never tried warm up with it.
