cleaned out the bac with pb blaster like someone on the forumtold me . to possibly stop a high idle! well all that did was make it idle sooooo much higher!!! 3k is what im idling at ! and not likeing it. i try to mess with the idles screw and the lil alan wrench screw on the BAC but nothing no change in idle and not only is it idling that high but the idle fluctuates when that high. when i push in clutch and put into gear the idle drops to around 1200-1500 fluctuating still. but when out of gear goes back up to 3k. can n e one diagnose what the hell is up?
thanks

bumpity bumpity bump bump bump

 

How's your TPS?

 

Clean the TB.
Check the throttle cable for sticking.
Check AWS.
Finally, adjust the cam stop screws on the TB.

It would not be a dirty BAC unless it happened while turning the steering wheel (with p/s) or the a/c was on.

 

TPS IS PERFECTO
how to clean tb? carb cleaner?
idle goes down with a/c on
aws??? whatz that ?
jack

 

Take out the TB and wipe it down with a rag and soapy water.

AWS is accelerated warm up system.

 

HOW DO I CHECK THE AWS? I HAVE THE FSM BUT ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND sorry for caps
how bout if the tb after cleansing it doesnt do a thing?
thanks
jack

 

INSTEAD OF Doing the whole tb mod i took off the first 2 throttle plates only and nothing else maybe that is to blame but its been like that for a while now

 

buuuuuuuuuuuuuumpity! lol

 

If you take the electical plug off the bac, does the idle fall down to a reasonable 700-800 rpm? Or does it on the whole still idle way high. If it falls down to a low rpm, then replace the bac. If it does not fall down after pulling the plug, then do the usual....make sure there is slack in the throttle cable, cruise cable,that the fast idle cam is coming off the roll pin (see the manual, fuel section).

The 87 n/a does not have an adjustment on the bac like the turboii and later models(on the whole thats a true statement, some exceptions). A small screw on top of the dynamic chamber can make some difference, but not three grand difference.Also your car has no aws. Its called the air bypass solenoid on your model. It only activates during cold starting when the water temp is very low.

That said, from your description, it sounds like the rpms will fall way down when you remove the bac plug.

 

Jack you have a vaccum leak.



You never told me you had no second plates.

These things are important.

 

idle still stays waaaaay high when the bac is unplugged.
so u guys are saying i should remove the bac totally?and put the block off on it?
LEVI :
should i finish the rest of my throttle body mod so it will work a lil more properly?
all i know is this car is ******* with my emotions! lol
jack

 

anyone of my fellow 7 owners?

 

I would finish the TB mod completely, while doing this, I will check for a cracked vaccum line or one is off.


Also once you get the water rerouted, the intake will be alot cooler and will help make some extra power.

 

ok so finishing the tb mod might have something to do with this or at leasat get a lil rpm 's off of my 3k idle? well i guess its a process of elimination

 

n e one have n e suggestions? im stumped here.

just saw it only $500 jus informing!
nothing to do with the post sorry

 

I wouldn't say he has a vacuum leak to be causing a high idle(maybe low idle), at least that I know of.

Oh BTW, what were you saying about some club on Friday?

 

It may be a vaccum leak, I had one and it acted exactly the same. Super high idle and erratic at times. It wasn't doing before, so I would assume a line came loose, or something.



Club 1320 is next Friday, not this Friday.

Its a all night racing club @ a track with no rules, and running pro tree.

We take the whole car club when we go down, and you are more than welcome to cruise with us, or meet us there.

We should have 3 or 4 RX7s going already. If you guys go, that will add that much more fun.

We do alot of freindly racing between cars in the club.

Right now, my buddy is trying to get his T2 to smoke my N/A, but he has got a ways to go.

 

damn man my car sucks! lol and i have never ran a pro tree!!??!! i almost have the regular tree down to science .5?? everytime but pro tree?? hmmmmmm!??
where was ur vacuum leak Levi ? and i got that interview with sears so i might not have to work at night for 1320!
ryde or die that would be great we can all go !
jack

 

What are you talking about?? My car is faster than yours sir I don't have a ways to go. When the boost kicks in, I go

 

What track is it? I only know of 2, one on Ulmerton in Largo which is 1/8 mile, and the one in Bradenton. I think I might go though since I am picking my car up today more than likely.

 

You will never kill the N/A. N/A owns you!

I will race ya, if you pull a spark plug.



I had my leak were I made my connection from the air meter to the new piping, that I fabricated to the throttle body. But the point is I have seen leaks before and yours seems to be a classic example. Chris's car the gray one had the exact situation and I found a large vaccum leak right next to the oil fill tube.
