SOURCE: 87 RX 7

i have 87 n/a rx7 that is doing the same thing. I know that revving to 3000 on cold start is the correct procedure and your car should to this. However it should return to normal idle after 30 to 60 seconds and should idle between 750 to 1000 revs. I have not got round to fixing mine yet but it is fine after its run for 2 min`s.
First thing is adjust the idle screw on the top of the throttle body. It may just be that, or it could be BAC valve, lambda sensor, air flow meter`s etc etc. good luck.

Sounds like plugged up pre cats, my NA had the same problem I got a Racing Beat header that eliminated the pre cats and it went away. I've also seen them on eBay for cheaper. Either way you can't lose the stock header is like a cast iron stove attached to the engine it's heavy and massive.

SOURCE: starts,idles & runs fine, but won't rev over 2400

This is indication of faulty MAF sensor. Its located on the air inlet, look and the air filter box and follow it to the engine there inline you will see the mass air flow sensor and the air intake temp sensor is built into the mass air flow sensor. when you locate the air filter box you will see the maf sensor its bolted to air box.Make sure the connector is good and also the wiring.Remove the MAF sensor, clean it and recheck.Also try driving without MAF sensor.If its revs fine, then its faulty MAF.------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

How to adjust choke on 87 honda accord

It might just need cleaning. Spray some PB Blaster around the throttle arm where the cable connects to at the base of the carb, and see if that frees up the flaps. And while spraying, fiddle with the throttle linkage.

IT IDLES HIGH AN WONT REV UP

Change all the filters (fuel and air). check and see if all your spark plugs are firing or just change them. if it is fuel injected make sure your injectors are working. Hope something there helps get it running good.

87 RX 7

rx7`s should rev to 3000 when started cold then it should settle to 750 to 1000 after about 30 to 60 seconds.
mine suffers a similar problem. so far I have been told various answers, mostly involving the bac valve, lambda sensor, air flow meter, etc. try starting of by adjusting the idle adjust screw (on top of the throttle body under plastic cover) this may be all it is. I have not had time to do mine. Its been fine otherwise and idles fine after a few minutes. mine is non turbo 87.
