Help with 1985 RX7 idling rough
#1
Hello everyone,
I have a 1985 RX7 GS. It was running fine. I took it out for a drive and after driving a couple of minutes I heard something thump in the engine compartment. I continued on my drive, but found that the car suddenly was idling very rough and sometimes even stalls.
Once I got back home I opened the hood and found a mouse had made a nest at the base of the carburator. I think the thump I heard was the mouse meeting the cooling fan once the engine got too hot.
I'm guessing the mouse might have chewed up something and created a vaccuum leak somewhere causing the rough idling.
Any idea of any shops I could take my RX7 to be checked out in the Maryland/Virginia/South Central PA areas?
Any suggestions appreciated!
