The normal start up mode for an RX7 is to rev to 3000 and then settle down to
750.  A vacuum leak is highly possible, but it could as easily be a
malfunctioning sensor or controller (in order of probability) Idle Air
Control servo, MAP sensor, Throttle position sensor.
If any of the larger vacuum hoses were damaged or not connected after the
repair, they can cause the same symptoms.  Check the three vac hoses on the
firewall side of the throttle body and the brake booster line.  I've made the
mistake of spending too much time looking for a serious mechanical or
electrical problem only to find that I had left something disconnected.
