engine sounds fine fella as jay has said. sounds more like a minor issue elsewhere such as the map sensor or the vac pipe leading to it.

turbotoaster · April 08, 2009, 11:30:23 PM

how much you use 5L worth

AshRX · April 09, 2009, 12:07:05 AM

all depends if you drain the oil coolers dude as well. Usually find its between 5.5 and 6 litres if coolers are drained but i usually get away with a 5 litre bottle of GTX if doing a normal change

well just got of the phone to my mechanic and he says he had a problem with a previous rx7 with the throttle positioning sensor, he said every now and then it was causing the car to under rev and back fire so he changed the tps and it turned out ok but my service will be done on saturday and ill look for a sensor some time next week...
