Wooooaaaaahhhhh dude!,

Don\'t be to hasty mate, can you get it to fire up and increase the idle to keep it running so you can diagnose further maybe?.

Regards

Matt

Adi, bit of a wild card but have you checked your clutch switch? Symptoms are either very poor or no idle unless the revs are kept up and i\'ve had this issue on a few RX7\'s. An easy (ish) way to check it is to get your head down near to the pedals, this is easiest whilst outside the car before you ask :evillaugh
