On the 1984 Mazda RX-7, the cold idle screw is located on the side of the carburetor, specifically on the side of the secondary barrel. To access it, you may need to remove the air cleaner. The screw is typically used to adjust the idle speed during cold engine conditions, ensuring proper performance when starting the vehicle in cooler temperatures.
You can most def find on eon eBay for under 1000 bucks.
To adjust the idle on a 1981 Mazda RX-7 with a 12A engine, locate the idle adjustment screw on the carburetor. Start the engine and let it warm up to normal operating temperature. With the engine running, turn the idle adjustment screw clockwise to increase idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it, aiming for a target idle speed of around 800-900 RPM. Finally, check the idle quality and make minor adjustments as necessary.
My 91 rx7 idles at 1000-1200, which i believe is the norm.
Misfiring and idle at 1500. sounds like a TPS isn't adjust correctly. look on this site for a write up to fix your TPS http://fc3spro.com/main.html and to correct your Idle on top of the intake manifold there is a screw use a flat head and turn it down. that will adjust your idle if your TPS is correctly adjusted.
The car is designed this way for cold starts. It should idle up to 3000 rpm then makes it's way down to around 1500 and finally down to 750 as it warms up. DO NOT drive when it is cold or If you have to do not take it over 3 grand until warmed up or you risk blowing coolant seals.

Answerthe problem would probably be a leaky vacuum line to the egr-valve. AnswerYour RX7 is supposed to do this. It's the car's way of warming up the turbos quickly to get them ready for use. It should rev to about 3000rpm when started from cold if you don't touch the accelerator, and stay like that for about 15-20 seconds. If you blip the pedal, during this phase, it will stop the high revs and it will idle as normal. You'll find it doesn't do this if the engine is warm, only when it's cold. in the late model 2nd gen cars the fast idle at start up is the choke function. esp when the motor is cold. once it starts a quick push on the gas pedal releases the automatic choke
14-54 psi at idle/ 64-78 psi at 3000 rpm
Poor vacuum ,air leak ,you may need to adjust idlescrew on top of the TB
if you live in a cold area get the strongest battery that will fit in the tray.
if this happens when you first start the car it is normal. It is just the cars way of warming up the engine.
1. Check for vacuum leaks 2. Check to make sure the cold idle screw is not set really high(That's a cause of unknown high idles and why people can't get the car to idle down." 3. TPS sensor could be going out but if already replaced... You need to do a base idle reset. 4. If you are using low grade, cheap gas like 87 or 89 octane, you need to step it up and use the 91 or 93 like the car suggests. I made the same mistake and not my car runs great. 5. Check for positive battery connection. My battery cable is going extremely crappy and when your volts dont run where it should be, the computer runs an rpm increase to prevent your car from dying and all other problems arise then.
