Well i have decided to take my rx7 to the mechanic. The problem started 3 days ago when i bought the car.. (wouldnt idle, poping, putting) I drove it around getting used to it and got on it pretty good and all the sudden it had no power sounded deep and more poping, i have looked for vacum leaks found a few (behind the intercooler was 4 vacum places had none i saw 4 hoses 3 small and 1 big 2 small ones were plugged.. i put a vavum hose to the bottom vacum and noticed a rod under the intercooler and by the alternator was off so i put it on. It sems like it is holding somthing back and has alot of [play.. Without it (the thing i connected it to moves back furthur) But wont because nothing is connected to it. I still hear a hiss like a vacum leak in the front part of the intercooler. it still has no power but holds an idle longer.. The engine seems smooth (like nothing hitting) but its deep and slow revs kinda ruff.. (but the engine sits there calm...) Anything i should mention to the mechanic (not a rotary guy but very smart(everyone in town says to goto him)) any help before i take it over on monday??? I'll have him check compression, vacums, need a belt change...

He should pretty much know what's up after checking it out.

BTW - any lights on the logicon? If so he can pull the error codes.

No lights, I didnt find someone with a similar problem but get no reply (old forum on diff site) Someone there mentioned bad ground and i forgot to mention a little yellow wire that mysteriously came from under the steering wheel from a conector with a Black and whate wire, i have no idea were this goes? the car used to rev fast and all the way past redline (didnt it only once or twice) and ever since i put the vacum on the bottom of the 4 behind the intercooler it has trouble getting past 5 grand. Maybe it has something to do with the wire???? i dunno
