Problem Listed below. Anyone with any helpful hints, let me know via the guestbook or an e-mail to OmegaSephiroth6@gmail.com (Cut me some slack I made the e-mail name when I was eleven.)

The car starts and idles at roughly 2300, then it decides to shut off and restart, then bounce the RPMs around between 900 and 1900 RPM. Anyone with any ideas feel free to let me know.

(9.18.08)Update:

I suppose that I should let everyone know that this car is officially dead.  Not that I crashed it or anything, but rather that I moved without being able to finish all the work I had to to get it road worthy.  I apologize for not announcing it sonner, but I had too much going on over the past year to really say anything.  It was on June 28th of 2007 that we moved from New Hampshire, and despite my best efforst on the brake lines, they were incomplete and we had to abandon the car due to the massive cost of the towing fees.  It makes me sad that I worked so hard, but never got it finished.  At the very least, I know that I will buy another RX-7 very soon.  Hopefully one that doesn't have so much wrong with it, and that I can truly be proud of.  And yes, the car will have the same name (Ryu), because I refuse to admit that I actually lost this particular car.  Keep an eye open for my next car, Ryu (Revival).

(6.24.07)Update:
Transmission is fixerated. Will be on the road very soon... Tired.

(6.4.07)Rage:

(6.1.07)Learning Curve:
Well, I guess I'm at that point where the old car starts telling me it's deepest dirtiest secrets. See Page 4 for a quick update.

(5.31.07)Quickie:
Quick little update on Suspension, Tires and Brakes. Check it out. I'll update in more detail later, as for now I have to get some sleep before classes tomorrow, it's already 1:05am EST and class starts at 7:30am. guh.

(5.27.07)Update:
Well, things have been proceeding smoothly with the car. I plan to upload some new pictures later in the week. updates to Engine, Body and Interior Pages. Check 'em out.

Hey Brandon!
Whatever happened to your RX-7, anyway? I haven't been to Tulley in awhile, so if it is still there, I'm going to have to wonder if anyone cares (the dealership, you, the Christmas poo, etc.) about it. Oh well, I'm looking forward to hanging out within the next week or so. Oh yeah!

I spent the last 3 hours updating both of my cardomain pages, so there is a lot of material you could look through. I really cannot wait to hear the Firebird run, then I can take it to the drag strip, and I can't wait for Brianna to be back to life so I can take it to the autocross events.
Anyway, GARBAGE DAY!!
Gotta run, catchya later!

Teh RX-7 of hawtness! As always I can't wait to see how that thing's going to do once it's road-ready. By the way check out tirerack.com, they've got a set of performance tires that fit your factory 14s (backordered though). See ya later this week, probably.
