rx7 FC TII is on a distinguished road
Default starts fine. runs briefly and shuts off. no idle

ok so i just got my car running again for the first time in about a month. i had 2 clogged injectors and i couldnt get it to start.

so after installing some 75lb secondaries, clean and flowed my primaries, new injector clips all around and an rtek 1.7 ecu it was running fine and no problems for the past 24 hours. on the drive home today it was fine...till i pulled into the neighborhood.

i downshifted into 2nd and it almost shut off. i got it home and it sputtered down stayed alive then died. i noticed some smoke right before it shut off so i popped the hood and jumped out to check...no fire.

i started it again and it starts just fine but as soon as it starts if i dont give it gas it dies and if i give it enough gas to stay over 1K rpm then its fine. under 1K it smokes out the exhaust.

also i checked for error codes and there are none. im thinking its something to do with ignition and the smoke unburnt gas?

im also going to do a compression test tomorrow. and i have sent an email to rtek to see if the symptoms sound like its the ecu malfunctioning. would you get an error code if it was the ecu?
