Smooth idle out of gear, rough in gear
Morning!
First, my 88 convertible RX7 (manual 5 speed) runs great. Starts right up, idles smooth at 1500 till warm then drops to a smooth 800 or so.
But the oddest thing is happening.
When she is cold, and this is only randomly, when I have her out of gear it idles at 1500 perfect. Sometimes, when I out her in gear, as if to go after a red light turns green, the idle drops to 800 and is really rough. I take it out of gear and bam, it pops up to 1500 again silky smooth.
Once she is warmed up she idles at 800 perfectly fine with no anomalies.
Thoughts?
