My RX7 is loping at idle.  Runs fine as long as the rpm are up a
little.   Anyone know what is going on?   I did not drive it from Dec
to end of March.    Jerry

What year is it Jerry.

Jerry,

I had an unstable idle that surged back and forth in an 87 that I traced
back to a small crack in the rubber elbow in the intake. It would take in
too much air that would lean it out, then the computer would correct and the
whole thing would start over again. Kind of a computerized version of PIO.
Check your intake.

On another note, your Tailwind newsletter was mentioned in the letters to
the editor section of the April Sport Aviation.
