i dunno whhat's going on....
1. hard starts.....takes me 4 tries to get it to turn on.(i assume it's flooding....I have not searched so i don't know how to fix it permanently....u know? NOT THE FUSE TRICK)
2.when i lef off the gas it clicks by the suspension....2 weeks ago i hit a pipe that was sticking out of the ground and I may have bent something but i have not been able to get under to check.
3.i have a shitty exhaust(straight pipes, not quality bends) and i used to boost up to 10 psi........recently i cannot go past 7 psi....I have no idea what it could be. Also; i used to see -15-20(bouncy see prob. 4) In.Hg (vaccuum) now i get a constant -5 In. HG.
4.i cannot fix the idle......bounces from 0-500....
I may have more but i am tired

sounds like a bad vac leak

i will check for vac leaks.....thank you......what would happen if I continue to drive it like this? I cannot work on it for at least 2 weeks(i have to get my Fiancee's GTUs running so we have at least 1 RX7 running while the other one is being worked on)

If the cars injectors have never been serviced that you know of, then it would be a good idea to get them professionally cleaned, you can scratch one less potential problem off your list when you get them back.
Before you pull them out, turn the car on, disable the fuel pump (disconnecting wiring harness under dash, search the forums for right one) and let it die out. Get a compression gauge, pull the efi fuse, and tell us what kind of compression you get after the car cools down.
#2
Have no idea what you mean by 'clicking suspension'
#3
do you have cats? maybe they are clogged. If you have straight pipes in the sense that the bends are like right angles and such, it could be really restricting. This makes it so the exhaust gasses don'y flow out fast enoughe, and the turbo doesn't spool all the way.
#4
Adjust the TPS, you can find a simple assed guide on how to do it at fc3spro.com. Also check your timing, if you have a haynes manual, it will tell you how to do it.
Im having the same problem, but there are other issues on my car that I need to clear up first before I start at the jumpy idle. Maybe someone else can chime in with advice on this area.

hope that helps some..

good idea, will look into it also
I bent something....will be replacing it soon.
See, the thing is I used to spool to 10 psi with this same exhaust now I only see 6 psi
we are on the same boat....i'm still working out the bugs from the engine swap.

IT DID, THANK YOU

i recently found out that this piece is bent....that might explain the clicking noise....what do you all think?
