Exclamation Any One Want To Blow My Car Up!?!

Ok heres the deal...brought the rx7 out of storage...1st start just flooded the car...so spent 4 days tring to start the car...i took the intake manifold off and checked the injectors to make sure they werent "leaking" they were all good...i put it all back together...did the unflood procedure, starts up BUT the car wont idle worth ****...it seems like a vaccum line or like MAF unpluged....but i checked 10000 times...this is realy pissing me off...also...one of the injectors, one or the other...seems to be eratic... leaks a bit on the outside now...i know this wont cause it not to idle...because the injectors dont leak untill i hit 8k...BTW the car is running great above 3500 but once i take the gas off to let it idle...NOTHING...its like i shut the car off...now..its a bitch to get it running agian...i have to sit there for about an 1/2 hour to get it to run(play with throttle while starting it, kicks over good but dies like as if it were b4) i know its confusing but anyone else get so pissed b4...any ideas on how to get my car running...

If I were you I wouldn't even be wasting my time to guess whats wrong without a compression check.

Should be the very very first thing you check when it is not starting

how long was it in storage?
could the fuel filter be clogged?
I'd start with checking the fuel and elec. system and a comp. check
and triple check the vac. lines.

So you're leaking fuel out of one of the injector grommets.... You do realize the injector grommets CREATE a seal to make vacuum. So if one of them is leaking, you should buy a grommet kid from mazda or some such and replace them to correct the issue.
